We invite psychology faculty who are looking for students to work in their labs to come and talk about what DIS is and what their labs do.  This encourages students to participate in research and make it easy for students to get involved

Grad Night

We talk about grad schools, how to apply, mistakes and ways to improve when applying to grad schools. We discuss GRE prep, Recommendation letters, and Personal statements.  We often have current grad students, seniors who just applied and or faculty on UNCW Psy. Grad school board to come in and talk about the process.
