Welcome to new students and welcome back SP area!

The Social-Personality Area held a welcome back orientation event to start off the 2018-2019 year! Our orientation is a social event that kicks off the start of our colloquium brownbag series every Monday from 12:00 - 1:30pm.

We had catered lunch, and attendees brought a myriad of desserts. Exciting raffle prizes were also drawn throughout the event! 

Special welcome to our 3 new graduate students this year: Garrett (working with Ward Struthers) , Madeline (working with Kerry Kawakami), and Daniel (working with Esther Greenglass). We are also pleased to welcome 5 new post-doctoral fellows in our area this year: Chanel Meyers and Xia Fang (both working with Kerry Kawakami), and Rhonda Balzarini, Jessica Wood, and Mariko Visserman (all 3 working with Amy Muise). We also welcome Maika Telga, a visiting PhD student from the University of Granada (Spain) working with Kerry Kawakami in her lab this year.

Thank you to Esther Greenglass, and the SP Social Committee (Chantelle, Joana, Lisa, Daniel and Kashmala) for throwing a fantastic event!
