NEEPS 08

So it turns out that the hair-brained scheme that I came up with after HBES 2006 - the NorthEastern Evolutionary Psychology Society (NEEPS) - was a great idea after all. Our 2008 conference, at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, was a huge success. Click here for some photos (thanks Jay Landolfi, New Paltz Psych department super-alum!).

Here's a pic of Steven Pinker giving the keynote address.

Commencement 2008

Well, another group of New Paltz students has graduated. Honestly, this is always such a mixed event for me - I'm so proud and happy for the graduates - and I'm always glad to meet the folks - but it's sad to say good-bye.

That one up top is one of Heather Hatt and myself. She took both my stats and research methods classes and lives to tell the tale! Great work Heather.

Next is one of super alum 08 including, from left, Downtown Ivy League Sean Brown (going to Columbia!), Tony "no bologna" DelPino, Aimee Hughes, and Andrew "the Rose" Rose.

Next is one of me and Aimee Hughes (talk about one of a kind!).

At bottom is a picture of one of our all-star graduates, Audrey Sheridan, with myself, Tabitha Holmes (next to me), and Melanie Hill (far left).

Congrats Audrey - you make us proud! Don't ever forget when we were Blue Men together for Halloween!
