Conferences

NEPA and NECTOP 2012

The New England Psychological Association (NEPA) and the Northeast Conference for Teachers of Psychology (NECTOP) are pleased to announce that their combined 2012 Annual Meeting will be held at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (Worcester, Massachusetts) during October 12-13. Worcester Polytechnic Institute is an easy commute from New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and most New England states, and thus many attendees will be able to participate without incurring the expense of overnight accommodations. Undergraduate and graduate students can join and register for the NEPA meeting for only $30, with faculty costs nominally higher.

The 2012 Annual NEPA Meeting affords great opportunities for up-and-coming students to credential themselves before applying for graduate school, for recently-graduated students to bring closure to their projects through presentation at a professional meeting, for colleagues at all levels to become involved in a professional association, for faculty at all levels to present research, and for all educators within the psychological sciences to learn more about the teaching of psychology from national experts.

NEPA will continue to review posters on a space-available through September 21, 2012.

NECTOP will accept posters related to the teaching of psychology through September 21, 2012.

These deadlines ensure that adequate time is available for the completion of projects during the spring semester. So, if you have promising students completing research projects in research methods courses or as independent studies, new faculty members seeking to establish themselves, research you wish to share, or adjunct colleagues interested in deepening their involvement in the profession we would appreciate your making use of the attached Call For Papers and passing it along to interested colleagues. The NEPA and NECTOP Online Submission Portals are up and running and waiting for you at www.NEPsychological.org!

I thank you for your consideration of this invitation and look forward to seeing members of your institution at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in October.

Please do not hesitate to contact either the NEPA (NEPsychological@Gmail.com) or the NECTOP (NETeachingPsychology@Gmail.com) offices when they can be of assistance in any matter related to the 2012 Annual Meeting.

Very truly yours, Gary M. Brosvic, Ph.D.

EPA 2013

Join us for the 2013 meeting in what can arguably be called the most exciting city in the world: New York City. The Marriott Marquis is located in the heart of Times Square and the Broadway theater district. Close to many major Manhattan attractions, the Marquis is an elegantly appointed hotel that is about as central as it gets. The 84th annual meeting will feature a full line up of invited speakers, papers, symposia, posters, and exhibits. The call for abstracts will be posted in September and the deadline will be November 1, 2012.
