WPA Wine and Cheese

Hey WPA members,

We’ll be holding our annual wine and cheese this month!  This is potentially our most important event of the year and is included in your club membership fee!  The wine and cheese will be held on November 28^th between 7pm and 9pm at The Wave in the UCC.

Our membership, professors, and graduate students will be attending.  This is a great chance to get to know not only other members of the WPA, but also many professors and graduate students.  This is of particular interest for those who are interested in future graduate studies in Psychology.

This event is free for members, but if you have friend(s) that would like to come, they can pay $10 at the door (this will also include membership for the rest of the year).  Members of an affiliate psychology club are also welcome, but must pay a $5 entrance fee.
