Consider attending SEPA:






 

SEPA’s 58th Annual Meeting will be held in New Orleans, LA, from February 15-18, 2012, which is Marti Gras time! Information about New Orleans can be found on the SEPA web site at www.sepaonline.com and in their newsletter which is posted online. You can go to http://www.neworleanscvb.com for additional information about the city. In between conference meetings, please visit the Psi Chi Hospitality Suite, open from 8-4 on Thursday and Friday, February 16-17. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow Psi Chi members and faculty advisors from all over the southeastern region, and to gather lots of valuable Psi Chi information. I look forward to meeting you, there.

PsiChi Panel Discussions @ SEPA:


 

Attention undergraduates! Psi Chi will sponsor two important discussion hours on preparing for graduate school. One will address both long- and short-term preparation strategies. The other will address the application process. You don’t want to miss these presentations. Additionally, you will be given an opportunity to participate in a discussion hour related to Psi Chi leadership. Be sure to attend!
