The WPA Exec Team

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.

WPA Exec

The WPA will be hosting a Dinner with a Prof night this Wednesday November 23rd at 6:30pm at the Wave. Our guest of honor will be Dr. Tony Vernon, whose research interests include individual differences in identical and fraternal twins, with a focus on the darker aspects of personality (including the Dark Triad).

These events have been very popular in the past and seating is limited. Spots will be reserved on a first come first serve basis. If interested please contact Erica at egiammar@uwo.ca

Thanks and we hope to see you on Wednesday!
