Psych Day 2001
Thursday, March 29th

    All of the Psychology Department student organizations work together to plan activities for "Psych Day," an annual event held during the spring semester to generate and foster student enthusiasm for Psychology.  Recent years' activities have included Poster Contests, guest lectures, workshops, graduate school fairs and games.

    This year's activities included the Psi Chi Student Research Poster Fair.  Results can be read below and photos may be viewed by clicking here.   

    Other activities included the "Wheel of Freud" game (students and faculty participation) and the Graduate School Fair.  Photos may be viewed by clicking here.

    Dr. Ivar Lovaas (Professor Emeritus, UCLA) spoke on Autism.  A report on the presentation by CSULB Psychology student Avianta Robertson may be read by clicking here.
