2nd Virtual Psychology Day
October 26, 2021
15th Annual Psychology Day
This year’s Psychology Day will take place on Tuesday, October 26th from 9:30am to 2pm. It will be online, meaning that students, faculty, staff, and community members are welcome to visit “virtual booths” with links to content housed on one web page. Some links will lead to live Zoom demonstrations and talks while others will lead to pre-recorded information from faculty and students in the psychology area.
Any current Northwest Vista College student who attends 80% or more of the Psychology Day booths and verifies their attendance by completing an attendance card by 5pm on November 1st, 2021, will be entered into a drawing. (Be sure to get the attendance codes for the booths you are visiting!) The drawing will take place by November 7th, 2021. The first randomly selected 10 names of students who completed their “80% attended attendance cards” will win a $50 credit into their Alamo Colleges’ account. This credit will go toward any balance or be automatically refunded to students who do not have a balance.
To enter the Booths, click on any of the Zoom links listed below.
