On September 20th 2021, our social-personality area met for our annual SP orientation day! We typically meet at 12:00-1:30 every Monday. In the fall semester, we plan on meeting via zoom, potentially moving to in-person meetings come winter!
Thank you to Esther Greenglass, Chantelle Ivanski, and Stephanie Raposo for again organizing our SP orientation! They presented a fun slideshow showcasing what the students have been up to in the past year.
This is an especially exciting year because we are welcoming 10 new members of the SP program!

Firstly, we warmly welcome our new faculty member, Cindel White! She completed her PhD at the University of British Columbia, and she studies religious beliefs, karma, moral values, among other interests.
