Your Future and Our Future - link & response for last week

I also enjoyed reading Larry's book. It really put my own education into perspective. How wonderful that many of us will be making history as well! Maybe if Larry writes a sequel later on down the line, some of us (besides Megan Brown of course, who is already in the book) will be included.

Funny to think that all of the trends in the field we've been reading about for the entire semester also translated to our own tiny campus. I think that Beloit's psychology department, for the most part, has always reflected the ideals of the greater field. We may not be big on a map but we sure do know what's popular!

I was really interested in the discussion on the scientific aspect of psychology. I was wondering exactly what Sara was wondering: did Larry think that the move to the Science Center improved other fields' views of ours? Did it improve our own views of ourselves? Are we a more legitimate science because we were invited to be housed in our new state-of-the-art building? I've felt that way; I also feel lucky that as a senior, I was able to experience the psychology major in both ways.

Anyway, since a lot of us are seniors, I looked around for a few sites that could help us potentially make history. If you're still looking for something to do after May 17th (or after you graduate next year, juniors)...here are some helpful websites. I can't take credit for this, though, because I found them on the FACS site. :)
