Welcome to this year’s edition of On Our Minds, the newsletter of the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan.

Our newsletter has a new look this year. We are highlighting the more personal side of our faculty through short spotlights. Current students and alumni may recognize the faculty showcased in this issue; future newsletters will showcase different subsets of faculty. To learn about the research activities of our faculty, or to find out more about the courses they teach, please visit our website at http://www.lsa.umich.edu/psych/.

The newsletter also highlights our accomplishments. This year we received the Departmental Award for Contributions to the Undergraduate Initiative from LS&A. This award recognizes the Psychology Department’s exemplary commitment to undergraduate education. Our graduate program remains strong and continues to be rated among the best Psychology graduate programs in the country. Our award winning faculty provide students with quality research experiences and continue to lead the field with major theoretical and empirical advances.

We are proud of all of our students who graduated this year. Congratulations! We wish you continued success in your future endeavors.

The UM Psychology Department continues to reach out to our alumni. During the Michigan Homecoming weekend, we hosted a football tailgate for our alumni season ticket holders. Because it was a great success, we have decided to make this an annual event for all of our alumni. In addition, we are organizing a team of Psychology Ambassadors who have volunteered to host events in their local communities that highlight Psychology and UM.

We hope that you continue to stay in touch with us during the coming years. Please keep us informed about developments in your professional and personal lives. Visit our website to update your contact information and submit news at https://www.lsa.umich.edu/psych/community/.

Best Regards,
Richard Gonzalez
