DEPARTMENT NEWS
For many of us, the start of Winter 2022 has been full of uncertainty and stress. This calls for patience, flexibility, and responsibility. Your in-person courses may temporarily switch to online modes if needed to accommodate the health status of your faculty and their families. Similarly, you may need to stay home from class at some points during the quarter. We hope that you will give one another some grace. Your faculty will support your efforts to learn from home to the best of their ability, and we hope you will support your faculty as they make decisions based on health considerations. The key is communication. Check your email often. Send email if you will miss class, group meetings, etc. And remember that most faculty are holding Zoom office hours designed to give you opportunities to connect about individual issues. Let's focus on building a community of caring as we interact with one another this quarter and beyond.

DEPARTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Dr. Bennion & Dr. Antony are looking for research interns interested in human memory to join their lab this quarter! There are two potential opportunities: If you are a basketball fan and knowledgeable about basketball, your help would be greatly appreciated both collecting and scoring data about participants' memories of watching NBA games. If you're not a basketball fan, fear not! They also have space for students to help run two studies about human memory (not having to do with basketball). Priority will go to senior PSY/CD majors who are looking to fulfill PSY/CD 448 or PSY/CD 449 (Research Internship) credit, but there may also be opportunities for volunteers! Both virtual and in-person opportunities are available. Email Dr. Bennion asap at kbennion@calpoly.edu if you are interested or have any questions!
