Psychology Welcomes Two New Profs

Ed Bujdos, for years an adjunct professor with the department, joins us in a visiting position.  Mr. Bujdos recently retired from his long-time position at the Jackson Correctional Center.  He will teach Developmental and Forensic Psychology in the fall.

Renovated Space Welcomes Returning Psychology Students

Olin's 3rd floor has undergone extensive renovation over the summer. Students will discover that the "Experimental Suite" is gone, replaced by three new labs and a new computer lab.  The former computer lab has become two new labs.  A welcoming new lounge will be the perfect place to meet with friends, study, or just relax between classes.  The Psychology Office has moved; you can now find Schara Young-Swan, our most able department secretary, in Olin 308, with a beautiful view overlooking the old greenhouse.  Come discover facilities that match the beauty of our discipline.
