Do you have powerful ideas that are worth spreading? If so, here’s an opportunity to share those ideas as a PSI Talk!  The UWGB Psychology Program would like to invite you to apply to do a short, 8 to 10 minute, presentation on an aspect of psychology as part of PSI Talks, an event we are hosting on March 3, 2020 at 7:00pm.  This event will include several engaging and thought provoking student presentations, followed by a reception.  See video of last year’s talks here.

Possible topic areas for talks might include:

• a meaningful personal experience you have had that can be connected to psychological concepts
• service you have done for the community or on campus that is connected to your psychology education (e.g., an internship or volunteer experience)
• a way that you use psychology in your work or your career
• a review of a psychological concept or literature and how it is relevant to everyday life
• original research you have conducted as a Research Assistant, Honors Student, or in class

The PSI Talks Will Be Held On Wednesday, March 3th, 2020 at 7:00pm in Fort Howard Hall of the Weidner Center. 

To be considered, you must:

• be a UW-Green Bay Psychology major or a graduate of the UW-Green Bay Psychology program,
• submit a 200-word abstract describing your talk, and
• provide the name of a UW-Green Bay Psychology faculty member who would be willing to endorse your talk and supervise your talk if you are selected.
• not have given a talk at the 2017 PSI Talks.

Please email the information below to Dr. Jason Cowell (cowellj@uwgb.edu) by 8:00 pm on Sunday December 1st.  We will then select semi-finalists who will meet with the selection committee for a brief interview the week of the December 9th.  The final presenters will be identified and notified that week.
