Opportunities for Psychology Students

Watch our social media for department events throughout the school year!

From time to time, the Department of Psychology will post opportunities to this page and update this information. 

As always, please remember that we do not explicitly endorse the opportunities that we pass along and we recommend that you do your own research. Our faculty would be happy to help students and alumni with that process.

If you would like to have an opportunity posted here, please email details to Mads Meridian at m.meridian@csuohio.edu
