Here for You: Academic Support over Break

At the Academic Support Center, we know that October break is a time to rest, relax – and work. Many students spend the week conducting research, writing essays, and studying for tests.

Faculty and Staff: We need your Help!

Hello faculty and staff, Do you want free babysitting during one (or more) Saturdays this semester? My name is Cara Bailey and I am teaching the PSY-5211: Assessment I: Cognitive course within the School Psychology graduate program this semester. As part of the course requirements, students are expected to show competency in cognitive test administrations. We are in need of participants between the ages of 5 and 21 to help our students learn these tools. Results are not shared nor are valid because the students are still learning these instruments. The dates we need participants for are Saturdays: October 15, November 12, and December 10, and participants can choose either the morning and afternoon, with the morning sessions starting at 8:30 am and afternoons starting at 1:00 pm. Thin...
