Hello Students and Faculty:

I apologize ahead of time for the change in schedule, but the 
Department had to change the date for the spring luncheon to APRIL 26 
(rather than April 27).  Jamie or Steuart will send an email on the 
listserv to all faculty and school psychology students about this 
luncheon, as well as the EDP Awards Reception on April 27 but I 
wanted to get the notice to you ASAP.  I realize that 1st years have 
two classes that day (Woodin, Jones) and 2nd years have one 
(Shriberg); I believe 695 is off that day.  I hope with this early 
notification that faculty can rearrange their last classes for the 
semester.  I also know that some 2nd years and interns are in 
schools; please work with field supervisors now to reschedule your 
practicum/internship activities for that week.  Jamie will send out 
more detailed information in the near future, but some general 
information for the day is below.

The Department of Educational Psychology Distinguished Scholar 
Lecture luncheon will feature keynote speaker Dr. Frank Gresham and 
School Psychology graduate student poster presentations.  Dr. Gresham 
is a Professor in the School Psychology Program at Louisiana State 
University and has also been on the faculty at Hofstra University and 
served as Director of the School Psychology program at the University 
of California-Riverside.  He is prominent in the field having 
published hundreds of articles and books in the area of social 
skills, behavioral assessment and intervention, and most recently in 
the area of Response to Intervention (RTI).  The day will start with 
student poster presentations at 10:30, lunch at 12:00, presentation 
by Dr. Gresham at 1:00 and practicum/internship supervisor and 
faculty discussion at 2:30.  More details to come.

Again - Steuart and I apologize for the change in date, but hope that 
faculty and students can accommodate their schedules with this 
advanced notice.  We are fortunate to have Dr. Gresham impart his 
knowledge and wisdom both formally (he will also present/consult with 
faculty and OARS on grant writing) and informally (a Jonestrom 
gathering will follow the Awards reception on Thursday).  This event 
is also a celebration of spring, end of the semester, a thank you to 
our field supervisors and program supporters, and a chance for us to 
meet and mingle with folks-in-the-field and colleagues.

If you have any questions, please ask me.  Or Jamie.

Sincerely,
Katherine
