by Nida Ansari, Justin Brass, Jessica Crosby, Yasmin Elliott, Victoria Mendonca, and Sophie Samek, Contributors On November 18th 2021, the Psychology Society’s Third Year Representatives hosted an online event titled, How to Get Involved: Volunteer and Research Opportunities in Psychology. Peer Helpers from the Experiential Learning Hub and Student Volunteer Connections as well as a panel of Psychology students joined us as speakers on the Thursday evening. The speakers shared their insight and experience with getting involved in Psychology-related volunteer and research opportunities, both on- and off-campus. If you didn’t get to join this event live or wanted a refresher on everyone’s tips and tricks, here are some final thoughts from our event panelists (and the Editor-in-Chief of GetPsyched)!

by Tavia Kiwanuka-Quinlan, Head Writer Sexual health is often an afterthought for many, or is thought of to be cold, clinical, and impersonal. Many associate sexual health to be exclusively STI tests, condoms and birth control, which is a very common misconception! While these are aspects of sexual health (specifically referred to as sexual healthcare), sexual health is so much more than that.
by Yasmin Elliott, Head Writer Let’s be honest, how many times have you been told, “You are what you eat!”? Most of us can think of times where we were given this warning, often to deter us from having too much “junk food”, usually with a focus on our physical health. You may have brushed this off in the past, but what if I told you that food greatly impacts both your physical and mental health? This is where we can turn to the new and exciting field of nutritional psychology for insights into how the foods we eat impact our mental health and wellness!
