We at Pacific University are proud to be the host institution of this year’s event and to welcome you to the beautiful Portland area. Thank you to the executive board for selecting Portland and Pacific for this year’s event. I would like to commend the efforts of the executive board members and convention program co-chairs, Pacific University Professors of Psychology Dr. Alyson L. Burns-Glover, Dr. Dawn Salgado and Dr. Heide Island for their extensive work on this important undertaking. As the first chartered university in Oregon, Pacific University has been dedicated to discovery for nearly 175 years. Today, we serve more than 3,800 students with undergraduate, graduate and professional programs in the arts and sciences, business, education, health professions and optometry. Pacific is about people first. Our students and alumni continually tell us that the nurturing learning environment and personal attention we offer is what sets Pacific apart from the rest. Our faculty members are experts in their fields, as well as in teaching, and they are committed not only to their own scholarships, but first and foremost to their students’ success. As our students prepare for meaningful careers in a myriad of fields, they also learn to be engaged citizens who care for one another and their global community. Nowhere is this more apparent than in our health professions programs, where clinical experience is rooted in a commitment to providing accessible and compassionate care to underserved communities. We are excited to be a part of today’s opportunity to extend your learning, scholarship and inspiration to continue to care for others. Warmest Regards, Lesley M.

The convention activities and presentations include Invited Speaker Addresses, Symposia, Poster Sessions, Paper Sessions, Presidential Address, Receptions, Film Festival, and Exhibits. WPA Speakers: Each year distinguished psychologists are invited to give presentations at WPA. This gives everyone an opportunity to hear the latest research findings and theoretical ideas from leading researchers. All convention attendees are welcome at the talks by the speakers. Also, conversation hours with students will be scheduled for some of the speakers. Poster Session: In a poster session, 30 or more presenters display the highlights of their research studies as posters mounted on bulletin boards. Presenters stand by their posters as attendees stroll along the rows, reading the posters and discussing them with the presenters. These sessions give you the chance to meet active research psychologists and ask questions and discuss findings. Each presenter welcomes your interest and questions no matter who you are. This is also a good opportunity to find out about graduate and undergraduate programs at other colleges and universities from the presenting professors and their students. Don’t be shy! Symposium and Panel Sessions: Two or more authorities make brief presentations on a topic. After the presentations, there is usually time for commentary and discussion. Paper Session: Each presenter in a paper session delivers a brief talk. Three or four papers are scheduled per session. After each paper is presented, or at the end of a session, the audience
