Dr. Swartz, scientist at the Great Ape Trust of Iowa, visited campus for two days. She gave a campus-wide lecture: “Collaborating with Great Apes: Cognitive research at Great Ape Trust,” which was very well-attended and received.
In addition to the lecture, Dr. Swartz visited four classes (Cognition, Research Methods, Professional Issues in Psychology, Intro Psych) in which she discussed various aspects of her work. She met with students in multiple disciplines, met with faculty, and, of course, spent a lot of time with the Psychology Department. Her time with us was deeply appreciated and very valuable.

Some new content added today; take a look around!
10.03.2008
We re-ordered the navigation a bit and changed a couple of the pages to get things organized a bit better. This unfortunately means that now three of our pages don't have their header graphics up. Don't worry; they'll be added soon. We've also added some content/updated a few pages.
10.01.2008
The Spring Courses page is now live and linked on the sidebar! Take a look at what classes we are offering next semester and when they'll be meeting.
09.26.2008
These past couple of days we've been going through the website and organizing everything. We've got standardized headers now, instead of having the blue ones just on a few pages. We've been going through content and links and making sure everything is updated -- if you find anything out of the ordinary (e.g. a broken link) or have a suggestion, please let the psych crew know!

First psychology club meeting of the year tonight at 6:30 in Jensen 202! We're watching Fight Club and having fresh-baked cookies and cake. :) Be sure to keep an eye out here and around campus for information on our next events!
