Get a Grip E-Newsletter

The "Get a Grip" newsletter began in the late 1990s after the phrase was used during a faculty and student retreat one summer. It had something to do with the Aerosmith song and a misunderstanding of what two people at the retreat had said.

The purpose of the newsletter is to keep the LIU Post Psy.D. Program community apprised of happenings in the program, as well as local conferences, trainings, job opportunities and other related items. We will also be posting our Alumni Spotlights now to this page, rather than the former separate "Non-Participant Observer" site.

Current students and faculty should pay close attention to PsyD Program Lecture Series and other internal announcements. Alumni can remain apprised of those events, as well as our alumni networking events, mentorship opportunities and other community projects.

If you have information you would like posted to Get a Grip, please email us. Submissions should be in ready-to-post format. They may include jpegs, pdfs, and attachments, and should include a link to an external website and/or contact information if viewers would like more information about the post.

Questions? Comments? As always, email the Program Director, Dr. Hilary Vidair or Assistant Director, Pam Gustafson: hilary.vidair@liu.edu / pamela.gustafson@liu.edu
