Psychology Majors Around the World: Part 2

Psychology majors studying abroad this semester share their experiences (Part 2 of a 3 part series)

Baelyn Duffy: Semester Abroad in Ireland

 My name is Baelyn Duffy and I am a junior psychology major at Saint Anselm College and currently a “third-year” student at the National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG), where I am studying for the semester! I was initially hesitant to look into studying abroad. I was unsure if I could make a semester abroad fit into my already tight schedule. However, once I began researching schools and asking around the psychology department, I realized that studying abroad as a psychology major is not only doable but is an incredible opportunity to learn more about psychology, possibly from a whole new perspective! Going abroad also allowed me

to study at a much larger school in Ireland, which means there are different resources available here including more course options, faculty members, and an entire building on campus dedicated solely to the psychology department! As for the psychology classes I am taking here, I originally had three pre-approved through Saint A’s registration. Unfortunately, all three of those classes had a session on Friday, and with traveling being a top priority of mine while abroad, I decided to not take any Friday classes so that I would have more flexibility to trav

el on the weekends. So, instead I decided to take a social psychology course here because it meets on Thursdays and I can receive course credit for it back home. I am currently halfway through the semester and I am loving this course! Not only is social psych my favorite area within the field, but this course is one that is taught by multiple professors, so I have been able to learn from three different teachers so far – and I have loved them all! In terms of course work, I just handed in my midterm assignment which had to do with analyzing experimental studies and writing a report on the findings. We also have to participate in several psychology studies throughout the semester, which is helpful because it has got me thinking more about my thesis which is right around the corner! :) Overall, I am having an incredible time enjoying the beautiful landscape, rich culture, and friendly people that make up Ireland. In a short two months’ time, this place has really become a home away from home, filled with great memories, places traveled, and friendships made. I am learning so much here about Ireland, history, and of course, psychology, all while learning more about myself in the process! Studying abroad was definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made. So, if you are a psychology major thinking about studying abroad, I highly encourage you to head into the psych department, ask some questions, and figure out how to make it work with your own schedule, because if I can promise you one thing, it’s that you definitely won’t regret it!

Welcome back, Psychology students!

Welcome home, Hawks, and welcome 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 mostly written by our own students regarding upcoming and ongoing events, as well as useful information for poster sessions and conferences, and information about our students and faculty. To start, here’s a recap of some of what we’ve been up to in this first month back and some opportunities to get involved this year. Congrats Maddie Scavatto (’19) The department would like to congratulate our own Maddie Scavatto ’19 for earning the 2018 Fr. Bernard Holmes, O.S.B. scholarship award, which is given to an incoming senior who shows care for and helps others, is a leader on campus, and shows a love of learning. Maddie is a psychology and Spanish double major. She is very involved on campus through being an Academic Resource Center tutor, participating in Relay for Life, volunteering to deliver groceries to residents of Manchester, coaching youth hockey, and being a member of AVERT. Maddie is the co-captain of the women’s ice hockey team and received Academic All-American honors. Psychology Department Meet and Greet: On September 13, 2018, faculty from the department held a meet and greet for all psychology majors and minors. This was an opportunity for returning upperclassmen to reconnect with faculty and for the freshmen to have a chance to put a name to a face. The faculty and students were able to connect about classes, future pathways, and research opportunities. It was a great opportunity to officially welcome in the new school year! Opportunities to get Involved in the Psychology Department: Psychology Ambassadors The Psychology Ambassadors are a group of students that help the department during open houses, giving tours of the department and answering questions regarding their experiences in the department and at St. A’s, going to conferences and poster sessions across New England, and attending dinners and talks with distinguished speakers. A call for applicants interested in the program will be sent out during the Spring semester. 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 Finn and Professor Ossoff are co-sponsors of the Saint Anselm chapter and will contact students that are eligible for this academic honor. (The up and coming!) Psychology Club Psychology Club will be starting up this year, and this club will offer students of all majors the opportunity to come together and discuss research, opportunities in the department, and participate in social activities that are intended engage them in meaningful conversations and discussions and to enjoy some out-of-the class room time together! The club will meet regularly and begin to organize psychology-related events, volunteer and fundraising opportunities, and social activities for this school year. The first meeting will be held on Sept 25 at 6pm in Goulet 3100.
