Last week, the Psychology Department came together to celebrate the achievements of our graduating students at our annual Awards Celebration. We proudly honored students from our Undergraduate Psychology Program, Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis and Autism Studies, and Ph.D. in Psychology.

We hosted our first research symposium on Tuesday May 6th. The event brought together student presenters in our undergraduate program, as well as our PhD and MS in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Autism Studies programs.

Fall 2025 course registration opened this week! Among the psychology courses available next semester is Dr. Anita Li’s special topics seminar. She will be teaching organizational behavior management to a broad audience.
