Specifically, Pickren was at Pace University at the Manhattan campus which is located across the street from NYC's city hall and a stone's throw from the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. Checking on the Pace website and facebook page, the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences within which the psychology department is located, won't be open until Wednesday, November 7. NYU "officially" resumed classes today though a couple of locations might be lacking heat. CUNY schools resumed classes on Friday, November 2, except for the ones that were in the blackout zones (e.g., Baruch College, Manhattan Community College, Kingsborough Community College, and York College). Pickren, a historian of psychology, was chair of the psych dept at Pace until moving to Ithaca College. Florence Denmark is now the interim chair (Trivia note: Florence was faculty adviser to the Psi Chi chapter to which I was treasurer as an undergraduate). Anyway, yes, it was a nice gesture by Pickren and the division. Still haven't heard anything from any other division and the APA website doesn't even mention Hurricane Sandy. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] On 2012-11-04, at 10:18 PM, Michael Palij <[email protected]> wrote: > > APA's Division of General Psychology has sent out the message below > to its members.
