This may be your first convention. To fully appreciate the experience, here are some guidelines you might find useful:
  • We will try to maintain the program schedule. If presenters are absent, the session will not move other presenters forward in the timetable. This way, you are assured that you get to hear what you were expecting to hear.
  • Enter and exit in-progress sessions quietly and inconspicuously. Presenters should attend the entire session in which they are presenting.
  • When you are in an area where a session is not occurring, other sessions may be going on nearby. Please keep the noise level down, even in the hallways. Perhaps it is a good idea to attend papers and view posters from universities and colleges other than your own. While it is a good thing to cheer on your classmates, there might be an opportunity to expand your own knowledge base.
  • Always respect others' opinions. Questions can challenge, but should not confront or demean. Constructive criticism is good, but remember common courtesy and good manners.
  • Mingle. It is always difficult to introduce yourself to "strangers," but all of the participants are interested in Psychology and have a lot in common. This is an opportunity to grow in your chosen field by discussing topics of interest, making contacts with persons at other institutions, complaining about your stat professor, etc.
