Amtrak train connection between the Newark Airport and New
Haven.

Please write a paragraph about your current work, activities

The Department of Psychology is compiling short historical
recollections of life in the department to be posted on the

attendees of the conference. Your contribution to this collection
would be greatly appreciated. Please write a brief historical "snippet" about
your graduate education in psychology at Yale, perhaps sharing
an anecdote or lesson from your days in the department. The
resulting online document will be an invaluable resource
for current and future graduate students, as well as a shared
history for alumni. The deadline for submissions is March
1. Suggested length is <300 words. Click
here to submit your anecdotes.
If you have a book in print, please let us know right away.
