Interview by Nida Ansari, featuring Tristan K.
Today's student spotlight is all about Tristan, one of the Fourth Year Reps on the Society this year! I virtually had a conversation with Tristan about his roles on campus (specifically as a Learning Peer Helper in the Library) as well as some study and organization tips he thinks all students should know.

For some background, my name is Ally Schuller and I am a second year Marketing Management student with a minor in Honours Psychology. I am part of the Psychology Society Executive Team as the Administrator. This is my first year on the Society and it took over 1 year to become a part of any executive team at UofG. With experience in DECA, a business club, throughout high school, and being a part of the Music Council, I have had many experiences with extra-curricular activities. For me, being a part of the music department was just an overall amazing experience and made going to school enjoyable. I think that if everyone found something similar to that for themselves, it would make school so much more enjoyable. So, I applied to these positions with the mindset of: Who knows what might happen if you don’t even try? Interview by Nida Ansari, featuring Brenna M. and Brittany P.
The Psychology Society hosted Thesis Night not too long ago, and it was a jam-packed event including both faculty and student speakers! We heard from Dr. Mark Fenske, current PSYC*4870 and PSYC*4880 intstuctor, who shared what the Honours Thesis course looks like and how assessment works. We then heard from Sharon Helder, Academic Advisor, who shared a comprehensive presentation about the process of applying to the program (you can find resources here). Finally, we heard from Brenna and Brittany, two students that are going through and have gone through the Thesis experience during and before a COVID-impacted semester, respectively. We wanted to catch up with the two Thesis students so we could hear more about their own experiences. What was their favourite part? What was not so easy? And what would they recommend to future Thesis students? All of that and more, right here! by Ella Rigby
This past year has been chaotic, stressful, and challenging to say the least. A global pandemic, a barrage of troubling news, social media content that seems impossible to detach from, and the uncertainty of what our new normal will be. Students not only carry this stress, but the additional weight of heavy course loads, completing important projects and midterms, and adapting to the virtual format of Zoom-iversity while learning at home. It can feel impossible to be present in the moment when you are constantly faced with major life stressors and the added pressure of succeeding in school. Unfortunately, there is no one miracle cure for that stress; however, mindfulness is a strategy that can help you achieve a little more calm during everyday life. by Nida Ansari
Hi everyone! My name is Nida and I’m the Marketing Coordinator on the Psychology Society. As well, I’m a Psychology Co-op student! What that means is that during three of my terms, I am working a full-time job, and applying what I’ve learned in my Psychology courses into the real, professional world. I’m excited to be able to share my experiences and hopefully give you more insight into the co-op world. |
