Dave, May be a good idea to send one or two faculty to this conference. The one Sue and I attended several years ago was very good.

The 2007 conference will focus on innovative and effective strategies both on ways we start off majors (e.g., the introductory course, a careers course, psychology-specific orientation program) and on how we bring closure to the major (e.g., a specially designed capstone course or experience; a senior seminar; a history and systems course; research or applied internships/practicum). Modeled after the format of the previous conferences, the conference will include keynote speakers, concurrent symposia and workshops, and poster sessions. Our target audience includes teachers from high school, 2-year and 4-year college/university settings.
