Palo Alto University is honored to serve as this year’s sponsor. Our campus is located about 30 minutes from here in Silicon Valley, an area nationally known for innovation, academia and world leadership. Offering bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral level programs, Palo Alto University’s more than 100 nationally and internationally recognized faculty are ranked among the top 25 schools and universities for research productivity out of the 166 APA-accredited clinical psychology Ph.D. programs. A number of them will be here at the conference. Some are names you are probably familiar with: Phil Zimbardo, Ph.D., Stanley Sue, Ph.D., Larry Beutler, Ph.D. and William Froming, Ph.D. From our newest to our most senior faculty, they are the heart of what makes Palo Alto University an outstanding academic institution. Our students, from more than 25 countries, have the unique opportunity to train in evidence-based clinical practices under state-of-the-art evidence- based supervision at our own university clinic. Thanks to our Psy.D. consortium with Stanford University and joint J.D./Ph.D. program with Golden Gate University, students have an even broader selection of course paths to choose from. I hope you will have a chance to visit us during your time at the WPA convention at our campus. Nestled half way between San Francisco Bay and Half Moon Bay off of I-280, it’s a short and beautiful drive. If you can’t come to campus, you can stop by our booth at the conference. Our faculty has worked hard to make this an outstanding convention. I want to take this opportunity to thank them for their exemplary efforts. I am sure that you will find that the program offers you a great deal both personally and professionally.
