Come to the windy city for four days of participation in a cutting-edge program of Div. 3. There are many highlights to the program. These include: presidential address by Frank Farley; an invited address by Gene Brewer; presentations by recent award recipients for their contributions; a summit on psychological science: past, present and future with distinguished participants from APA, Div. 3, Div. 6; a symposium on cognitive science in honor of John Cacciopo; and a poster session with presenters from several countries. Additionally, we have Frank Farley’s conversation hour sessions with Noam Chomsky, Aaron Beck and Carol Dweck that should attract mega audiences. Robert Enright will be Div. 3’s featured speaker in "Empathy, Motivation and Personality" symposium, organized by the APA Foundation in collaboration with Divs., 3, 8 and 12. Also, do not forget our business meeting, where we discuss an increased role for Div. 3 in science efforts in the association. Last, but not least — mark your calendar for Divs. 3 and 6 joint social hour for networking with colleagues.
