Welcome back to the Hilltop, everyone, and to the Psychology Department blog! This blog provides information for psychology majors, psychology minors, or anyone who has an interest in the psychology field through articles written by students and professors regarding upcoming events, useful information for poster sessions and conferences, and summaries of events from throughout the year. Here are just some of the activities of the Psychology department... Psychology Ambassadors: The Psychology Ambassadors are a group of students that help the department during open houses, give tours of the department and answering questions regarding their experiences in the department and at Saint Anselm College, go to conferences and poster sessions across New England, and attending dinners and talks with distinguished speakers. The Psychology Ambassadors are looking forward to organizing speakers to come to the college and are excited to assist Saint Anselm College as the host of the New Hampshire Psychological Association conference this upcoming year! Psi Chi: Psi Chi is the International Honor Society of Psychology, an organization that focuses on providing opportunities to enhance members’ personal and professional lives, chapter experiences to give members continued engagement, and encouraging members to conduct research and apply the research findings to the field of psychology. Professor Ossoff is the sponsor of the Saint Anselm chapter (along with Professor Finn who is on sabbatical this year) and will contact students that are eligible for this academic honor. Psychology Club: Psychology Club offers students of all majors the opportunity to come together and discuss research, opportunities in the department, and watch movies that will engage them in meaningful conversations and discussions. Last Spring, the Psychology Club took a trip to the 99 Faces exhibit, which includes 33 photos of people with Schizophrenia, 33 people with Bipolar disorder, and 33 people that are caregivers or loved ones, in Lebanon, NH at Dartmouth-Hitchcock and met with individuals from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) regarding the exhibit.
