Yeshiva University
Created in 1886, Yeshiva University is a nationally recognized institution that blends academic excellence with a mission-driven commitment to advancing knowledge and improving lives.
Among its distinguished schools is the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, founded in 1955, which has served as a cornerstone of advanced psychological education and clinical training for nearly seven decades and is proud to host the NASPR 2026 conference.
The conference will take place at the Yeshiva University Museum, located within the Center for Jewish History in lower Manhattan. Set in the vibrant Union Square district, the YU Museum is surrounded by academic institutions, lively student hangouts, welcoming cafés and restaurants, and a rich mix of cultural spaces, offering an inspiring backdrop for learning, collaboration, and exploration.
