Norton Young Living Essential Oils 5 Welcome From Dear 2014 WPA Conference Attendees: Western Oregon University is proud to be the host institution for the 94th Annual Western Psychology Association Convention in Portland, Oregon. I would like to thank the WPA Executive Board for selecting Portland for this year’s event. In addition, I wish to acknowledge the efforts of Executive Board Members and Convention Program Co-Chairs, Western Oregon University’s professors of psychology, Dr. Ethan McMahan and Dr. Eric Cooley for their efforts. Located approximately one hour south of Portland, Western Oregon University (WOU) is situated in Monmouth, Oregon just outside of the state’s capitol, Salem. Founded in 1856, WOU is the oldest in the seven university state system of universities. Our student body, comprised of 6 approximately 6,000 undergraduate students and 400 graduates, enjoys a vibrant and close-knit intellectual community comparable to the environment in a small liberal arts college. From its origins as a normal school, WOU grew to become a nationally recognized leader in teacher preparation. In the seventies, WOU expanded its offerings with broad-based liberal education programs. Since then, the university has continued to emerge as a leading comprehensive public liberal arts institution, with approximately two-thirds of its students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the rest in the College of Education. Among its distinctions, WOU achieved a LEED Platinum certification for Ackerman Hall, the first large-scale live/learn residence hall in the nation, and ranked among the 10 greenest in the world by Mother Nature Network. Recognizing WOU’s strong commitment, engagement, and success in creating a university teaching and learning environment that embraces and celebrates the many benefits of a 21st century diverse university, Western received the first annual Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine, the oldest and largest diversity-focused publication in higher education. Proudly, WOU was named the 2010 recipient of the Christa McAuliffe Award for Excellence in Teacher Education by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), in recognition of exemplary performance in teacher education. We are proud of our faculty and staff who have been named for National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) awards for five years in a row. Best wishes for an outstanding annual meeting. Sincerely, Mark Weiss President, Western Oregon University 7 FUN RUN AND WALK SaTURDAY MORNING STAGGERED START FROM 7:30 - 8 AM 3 - 5 MILE COURSES MEET AT THE waTERFRONT parK DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE MARRIOTT DOWNTOWN WATERFRONT 8 Table of Contents Psi Chi [Ad] . 2 APA Membership . .4 .
