Psychology majors can research opportunities in their field Wednesday.
Central Michigan University's chapter of the Association for Psychological Science Student Caucus is having a social at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Health Professions Building's Global Teleconference Room.
"It's a research publication workshop," said Laura Schulz, Saginaw senior and APSSC president. "We will be having faculty members from the different areas of Psychology present and talk about their research, the program and how they got into the area they are in."
A panel also will be present to answer any questions that students or those in attendance may have. Schulz said each faculty member will speak for between five and 10 minutes on their research, and the rest of the time will be open for students' questions.
"Basically it's going to be a question and answer period where students can get their questions answered about the field," Schulz said.
Free food will be offered in the HP Building Atrium as part of this social event. E-mails will be sent out later in the week to all psychology majors who have signed as of last semester, announcing the event.
The organization typically holds a social event at least once a month, to try to get the word out about the organization and opportunities in the field of psychology.
The purpose of the APSCC is to be a representative body of the student affiliates of the Association for Psychological Science, according to its Web site. It also seeks "to enhance the professional development of its members and improve the education of the science of psychology."
Clawson senior Kate Draus is excited about the program.
"It's going to open up a lot of students to the field," Draus said.
On April 16, elections will take place to replace many of the APSSC who will graduate in May.
They are looking for more students interested in doing research to join the organization.
"Research is really the experience that can get you into grad school," Schulz said.
For more information on the organization, students can visit www.chsbs.cmich.edu/apssc, or join its Facebook group.
