Text Box: The Scholars Program is still going strong. We continue as Co-Team Leaders of the program. Many of our former Scholars have gone on to graduate programs or have started new careers in fields related to psychology. We will be recruiting yet another class of students for the program to start this coming Fall. Our former students are spread out all over the country either in graduate programs or starting their careers. Look inside for more information about some of our past Scholars. And please update us on what’s going on with you or what’s going on with someone you know who was in the program.
