Lab available for interested undergraduates
RA Opportunity
The Psychosocial Intervention and Implementation Sciences Lab (PIIS) currently has one available slot for a research assistant (RA) to begin work on a particular project as soon as possible. The position is unpaid but would afford the opportunity to earn credits in the spring semester (and possibly future semesters). We are looking to have an RA focus their efforts on a particular project: A Comprehensive Review of Implementation Science Instruments. This is a multi-site project including RAs at IU and the Universities of Montana and Washington. In addition, work on this project would connect you with an international, interdisciplinary team of implementation scientists who serve on our “Instrument Review Task Force”. Implementation, as defined by the National Institutes of Mental Health, “is the use of strategies to adopt, integrate and use evidence-based health interventions and to change practice patterns within specific settings”. For more information seehttp://www.seattleimplementation.org/sirc-projects/sirc-measures-project/.
Role Responsibilities
Your only responsibility would be managing the measures project, alongside our lab coordinator. As a project manager you would need to organize and oversee various project elements, delegate tasks to our Task Force, communicate with the various sites, collect and enter data. There are indeed opportunities for co-authoring products coming out of this project. In addition, you would be expected to attend once weekly PIIS Lab meetings where you would learn about additional PIIS Lab projects.
Eligibility
We are particularly interested in RAs who could potentially stay on to continue work in the lab on additional projects. Therefore, we are encouraging interested freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to apply. The key attributes necessary to excel in this position are strong communication and organizational skills with a keen desire to immerse oneself in the field of implementation science.
Application Process
For those interested, please complete the attached RA application and either email it to lewiscc@indiana.edu or drop a hard copy off for Dr. Cara Lewis in the Psychology main office

Request for PSY-MAJOR Announcement - Autism Mentoring Program
Greetings,
The Autism Mentoring Program is a student group that matches highly motivated IU students with families in the Bloomington community who have a child diagnosed on the Autism spectrum. The goal of the program is to foster social skills relationship-building through a long-term (we ask for a minimum one-year commitment) mentor/mentee relationship with a child through nothing more complicated than spending a few hours a week hanging out and going on social outings to the movies, the park, whatever!
We are looking for both male and female mentors. Because Autism is more prevalent in males, some families specifically request male mentors if their children are older, and making a match with guys may be easier in some cases. But everyone is welcome and encouraged to apply! We currently have a few families waiting to be matched, but we are actively recruiting more! Matches may not be immediate, but we will keep your application on hand as more mentees are available.
If you are interested in forming a close friendship and making a difference in a child or adolescent’s life, then please visit the website ( http://www.indiana.edu/~iubhonor/honorvol/Autism.php ) for information about applying. We will be holding an informational callout meeting in room 108 in the Hutton Honors College building on October 20th from 6-6:30pm. Applications will be due by October 27th.
If you have any questions, please email me at mentorp@indiana.edu
Thanks,
Brian Donley

This group will be comprised of carefully selected undergraduate students, who will be trained to provide informal, accepting and non-judgmental peer support.
In addition, volunteers will be trained to recognize and refer students in need of more professional services.
The mission of Crimson CORPS is to promote a culture of compassion and action on the IU Bloomington campus and to bring awareness to issues of emotional well-being within the student community.
Why are we doing this?
* 1 in 5 of your fellow classmates is depressed
* 1 in 2 is overwhelmingly anxious
* 1 in 10 is coping with mental illness
* 1 in 6 has seriously considered attempting suicide
We are looking to create a diverse group of students who offer different perspectives but who are bonded by a common commitment to make a difference in the lives of their fellow IU students.
CORPS volunteers will be trained and supervised by the professional staff at Counseling & Psychological Services.
Training will be focused on the following skills:
* Active listening without judgment
* Engagement with people from different backgrounds
* Information gathering in a non-threatening manner
* Engendering feelings of trust and safety

Motorists should expect delays traveling to IU Bloomington commencement
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 3, 2011
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Highway construction on the north side of Bloomington is expected to cause traffic delays for Indiana University Bloomington commencement ceremonies this weekend.
IU officials are encouraging graduates' friends and family members, especially those coming from the north, to allow extra time for the drive and to be patient. Motorists may want to take an alternative route to avoid the intersection of North College Avenue and Ind. 46.
Print-Quality Photo
Because of construction, traffic will be limited to one lane in each direction at the intersection of College Avenue and the Ind. 46 Bypass. Motorists attempting to reach Assembly Hall from north of Bloomington via the College Avenue or Ind. 46 exit from Ind. 37 are likely to experience delays.
On Saturday, officers with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department will assist IU Police Department officers in directing and regulating traffic and parking, said IUPD Chief Keith C. Cash. Officers will be stationed at heavily traveled intersections near Assembly Hall to keep traffic moving.
Additional information and directions are available at http://www.indiana.edu/~bypass/.
Commencement ceremonies for Indiana University Bloomington graduates will take place Friday (May 6) and Saturday (May 7) at Assembly Hall (1001 E. 17th St., Bloomington, IN 47408). They include:
Friday, 3 p.m.-4:30 p.m.: Graduate Student Commencement Ceremony
Saturday, 10 a.m.-11:30 a.m.: Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony for business, education, HPER, music, nursing, public and environmental affairs and social work
Saturday, 3 p.m.-4 p.m.: Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony for arts and sciences, continuing studies, informatics and computing, journalism and optometry
While there is a 3 -hour gap between the two Saturday ceremonies, graduates and some audience members will begin arriving early for the afternoon ceremony. Congestion can be reduced if those who attend the morning ceremony don't linger at Assembly Hall but travel to other locations on campus or in Bloomington to celebrate graduation.
For more information, see the IU Office of Ceremonies website, http://www.indiana.edu/~ceremony/. A news release with additional information about Indiana University commencement ceremonies is at http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/18144.html.

Because of construction, traffic will be limited to one lane in each direction at the intersection of College Avenue and the Ind. 46 Bypass. Motorists attempting to reach Assembly Hall from north of Bloomington via the College Avenue or Ind. 46 exit from Ind. 37 are likely to experience delays.
On Saturday, officers with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department will assist IU Police Department officers in directing and regulating traffic and parking, said IUPD Chief Keith C. Cash. Officers will be stationed at heavily traveled intersections near Assembly Hall to keep traffic moving.
Additional information and directions are available at http://www.indiana.edu/~bypass/.
Commencement ceremonies for Indiana University Bloomington graduates will take place Friday (May 6) and Saturday (May 7) at Assembly Hall (1001 E. 17th St., Bloomington, IN 47408). They include:
Friday, 3 p.m.-4:30 p.m.: Graduate Student Commencement Ceremony
Saturday, 10 a.m.-11:30 a.m.: Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony for business, education, HPER, music, nursing, public and environmental affairs and social work
Saturday, 3 p.m.-4 p.m.: Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony for arts and sciences, continuing studies, informatics and computing, journalism and optometry
While there is a 3 -hour gap between the two Saturday ceremonies, graduates and some audience members will begin arriving early for the afternoon ceremony. Congestion can be reduced if those who attend the morning ceremony don't linger at Assembly Hall but travel to other locations on campus or in Bloomington to celebrate graduation.
For more information, see the IU Office of Ceremonies website, http://www.indiana.edu/~ceremony/. A news release with additional information about Indiana University commencement ceremonies is at http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/18144.html.

Masters Program in Psychology at Bucknell University
The M.S. program aims to prepare students for Ph.D. programs. Students who enroll in the program often are looking for additional research experience, time to clarify their professional goals, or are seeking a terminal Masters degree.
Bucknell’s Master’s program in psychology is a full-time, two-year program in general-experimental psychology that leads to the M.S. degree. Our program is small and selective, as we accept 2-3 students per year. Many students who graduate from our program continue on to a Ph.D. In recent years, graduates have enrolled in doctoral programs in many areas of psychology--clinical, cognitive, human development, neuroscience, social, behavioral medicine, and others.
We seek out applicants who are committed to conducting high-quality empirical research and who wish to be active, contributing members of a department community. Our master’s students typically receive a full tuition remission plus a stipend for serving as a TA. For the 2008-2009 academic year, the stipend was $8800. Each semester, students take two courses, conduct research with their advisor, and serve as a Teaching Assistant, typically in our Introductory or Statistics course.
Potential applicants may contact those faculty whose interests seem to offer a good match. With questions about the program, contact the coordinator of the master’s program, Prof. Bill Flack (570-577-1131), wflack@bucknell.edu). The departmental secretary is Ms. Kay Ocker (ocker@bucknell.edu, 570-577-1200).

Reach High Summer Camp
Hi, I'm Kevin Domanico from Reach High Consulting and Therapy, an ABA clinic over on the southwest side of Bloomington. I was contacting you today to ask if there was any way you could pass on information to your students about volunteering for our summer camp this summer. We run a Summer Camp for children with autism and other developmental delays that uses the practices of Applied Behavior Analysis services to help children learn language, social, play, academic, and self-care skills. ABA is a scientific method of improving socially significant behavior using tactics derived from the principles of behavior. We take ABA and use it in traditional camp settings and activities to help our campers grow. It's a great way for them to have a lot of fun while at the same time learning and growing. Our summer camp runs from 9am to 4pm from June 13th to August 5th from 9am to 4pm and we are looking for volunteers for any part of it, if they can't do the whole thing that isn't a problem we're willing to work around them. We have a limited number of paid positions available as well for those with more experience. Please e-mail me if this sounds like something your students may be interested in and we can give you even more information on the whole endeavor. Thank you for your time, hope to hear from you soon!

Volunteer/internship options at the Middle Way House
Hello,
My name is Monte Simonton and I run the after school program at Middle Way House The Rise. We serve children between the ages of 3-19 years old who have come from domestic violence, homeless, and poverty situations. We have several volunteer options and a service learning course that we need more volunteers for. Each of them are described below.
L100: *** We still have 6 spots left.
Every year we collaborate with a service learning course (CLLC-L100, 11614) to provide the children with a Spring Break Camp. The class meets March 2nd, March 9th, and March 23rd from 6:00-8:30 p.m. and includes meeting the week of Spring Break from 8:30-5 p.m. The first two classes the students will get a foundation on the effects of domestic violence on children. They will learn about Middle Way House and about what we will doing with the children over spring break. During spring break we will spend Mon-Fri 8:30-5 with the children. We will go to the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis, the Exotic Feline Rescue Center, The Indianapolis Zoo, and Wonder Lab. We will go to a Chemistry Magic show, go swimming, and have live animals brought in by the Humane Society for some educational programs and two animal rescue programs. It is a really fun week that allows students to make a difference in a child’s life over Spring Break. **** We still need to raise another $1000 to do all of the weeks activities. If you or a student group would like to help raise it please let me know.
Mentoring:
We currently need 25 men to be mentors to the children in our program. We currently have a wait-list of women waiting to be paired with girls, but will probably need more female mentors starting in April. We pair IU students with a child of the same gender for a year commitment as a mentor. The mentor must spend an average of 3 hours a week with the child, not counting winter, summer, or spring breaks. Some of our boys have been waiting close to a year to get mentors, because we have not had that many male applicants. We have a large number of female children who have recently moved and also need mentors. Mentoring is one of the easiest ways to make a difference in a child’s life. Just by hanging around them and incorporating them into your life, you can make a major difference in their lives. Please contact Monte Simonton at msimonto@hotmail.com for more information.
Tutoring;
We tutor children between the ages of 4-18 with their homework. We do tutoring Mon-Thurs from 5:30-7 p.m. and Friday from 4:20-5:30. We need help with tutoring children in all grades. We could also use help in developing assignments for children to do when they do not have homework that would increase their literacy and math levels. We are tutoring about 30 children a day and need more volunteers. We in particular need more tutors on Fridays. Please contact Monte Simonton at msimonto@hotmail.com for more information.
My name is Monte Simonton and I run the after school program at Middle Way House The Rise. We serve children between the ages of 3-19 years old who have come from domestic violence, homeless, and poverty situations. We have several volunteer options and a service learning course that we need more volunteers for. Each of them are described below.

SPHS Colloquium: Dr. Linda Smith, Feb. 28
What: Colloquium presented by the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences and the SPHS PhD Organization
Where: Speech and Hearing Building, Room C141
When: Monday, February 28, 4-5 pm
Speaker: Dr. Linda B. Smith
Psychological and Brain Sciences Department, Indiana University
Title: Grounding Toddler Learning in Sensory Motor Dynamics
Abstract:
Most theories of cognitive development are "cognitive" in the sense of being about internal models, propositions, and inferences. It is not at all clear that these theories can explain real world learning. Child learn in a physical world - about objects, actions, and other social beings, and language - through their second-by-second, minute-by-minute sensorimotor interactions in that world. They create their own experiences through their own actions. This talk considers how the body - and physical actions - may play a special role in - and indeed simplify - learning object names. The body's momentary actions appear to play a direct role in what might seem to be cognitive operations - attention and binding - bind objects in the physical environment to internal cognitive operations. The domain used to illustrate these points is toddler word learning. Using tiny videocameras placed low on the forehead of the child to capture the dynamic first person view, measure of eye-gaze direction, motion sensors on heads and hands, and success in word learning tasks, the experiments show learning that is inseparable from - and made in - embodied interaction in the world.

Summer Research Internship at the Infant Cognition Center at Yale University
The Infant Cognition Center at Yale University, directed by Dr. Karen Wynn, is accepting applications for our annual summer internship program, which runs from June 1 to August 15 (flexible).
Research: Our research broadly focuses on social cognition in infancy. Some ongoing projects examine infants' preferences for characters based on their social behavior or group membership, infants' understanding of social status, and infants' reasoning about plants and artifacts. More information about our current research can be found at www.yale.edu/infantlab.
Internship Opportunity: Interns will work closely with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows on new and ongoing studies, participating fully in all aspects of the research process. Interns will become familiar with experimental methods used in infant studies, and will immediately become involved in recruiting and testing participants, designing and setting up studies, and coding and analyzing results. They will also attend a weekly lab meeting where we discuss the theoretical motivation for our studies, experimental data, and relevant research findings from other labs.
In addition, interns will have the chance to learn about and interact with other developmental psychology labs at Yale, and attend sessions organized by professors and graduate students on topics such as applying to graduate school. Interns are encouraged to join graduate students and other researchers from across the department in fun activities such as kickball games, bowling, barbecues, and karaoke nights.
Internship Requirements: The internship will involve a minimum commitment of 20 hours per week. Undergraduate students at all stages are welcome to apply. The internship is best suited to students interested in pursuing graduate studies in developmental, social, or cognitive psychology. This is a volunteer position, but it is encouraged to apply for outside funding from one's own university, and we are happy to support these applications.
How to Apply: To receive an application and further information, please contact Lab Manager Annie Spokes at yalebaby.manager@yale.edu.

Johns Hopkins Laboratory for Child Development Summer Internship Program
Johns Hopkins Laboratory for Child Development Summer Internship Program
The Johns Hopkins Laboratory for Child Development, directed by Dr. Lisa Feigenson and Dr. Justin Halberda, studies how young children perceive and think about the world around them. We use a variety of methods to investigate early knowledge, including measuring infants' looking time to various scenes, measuring children's reaching for hidden objects, and measuring children's choices in simple experimental games.
We are currently answering such questions as: How many objects can infants and young children keep track of and remember over time? What early numerical abilities do infants and young children have? How do toddlers and preschoolers reason through simple logic problems? How do young children learn the meanings of new words?
We are offering a limited number of summer internship positions in our lab for the Summer of 2011 (starting June 1st and ending July 29th). Student interns will gain experience in all aspects of our research, including: recruiting families to participate in our studies, understanding and helping to design experiments to be run with infants and children, constructing experimental stimuli, conducting experiment sessions with children and their parents, analyzing and interpreting data, and attending lab meetings in which general issues in cognitive development are discussed.
REQUIREMENTS:
1) Applicants must be psychology (or related) majors preferably with coursework in developmental and experimental psychology;
2) Applicants must have previous research experience (not necessarily in a developmental psychology laboratory);
3) Applicants must have basic computer skills;
4) Applicants should be mature, articulate, and comfortable with parents and children as the internship requires frequent contact with parents as well as with their children.
5) Applicants must be highly organized and reliable.
The position is a full-time commitment. Depending on the strength of the application, we offer either: 1) 4 credit hours or 2) up to $1,500.00 in stipend money. Receipt of university credit is dependent on agreement from the student's home institution. Students are also strongly encouraged to seek external sources of funding (e.g., many universities offer summer research funds to students who can demonstrate a strong research plan). We encourage students to look into such possibilities or to apply for such funds at their home institution (whether JHU or elsewhere) before applying, and to describe such opportunities in their application.
Applications and a more detailed description of the program can be found on our website at www.labforchilddevelopment.com. Click on JOIN OUR TEAM!
To apply, please mail your application, complete with all necessary components to:
Dominic Gibson, Lab Coordinator
JHU-Dept. of Psychological & Brain Sciences 3400 N. Charles St.
Baltimore, MD, 21218
We will accept applications until March 4th, 2011. Late applications will be considered only if positions remain open.
If you have any further questions, please contact Dominic Gibson, Lab Coordinator at (410) 516-6075 or infant.research@jhu.edu. You can also find additional information about the Laboratory for Child Development at our website:www.labforchilddevelopment.com.

New Information about IU Master of Public Health Programs for 2011
Please see the announcement below about HPER expanded Master of Public Health options for Fall 2011. There is contact information available at the bottom of the announcement for anyone with a question.
Graduate Records Examination (GRE) scores are not required for United States citizens with an undergraduate cumulative GPA of 2.8 or above on a 4.0 grading scale. If students are interested in being considered for an assistantship for next year, they should get the application and the assistantship application turned in by March 1.
The School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) is pleased to announce that effective Fall 2011, the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program will be expanding and will offer the MPH degree with five different concentrations (majors). The 43 credit (2 years full time) program, accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health, will have available majors in the areas of epidemiology, public health administration, biostatistics, environmental health, and behavioral, social and community health. Below is a description of the five concentrations.
Master of Public Health (MPH) Program, School of HPER, Indiana University-Bloomington
All students in the Master of Public Health (MPH) program complete core public health course work in epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, social and behavioral determinants of health, and public health administration. Additionally, students choose one of these areas as their area of emphasis and complete coursework and participate in research experiences that develop their knowledge and skills specific to that selected concentration. A description of each concentration follows:
Behavioral, Social and Community Health Students in this concentration focus on the social and behavioral sciences that are essential for understanding health behaviors and for developing effective health promotion interventions. Students complete coursework related to the social, behavioral, and cultural determinants of health, the design, implementation, and evaluation of health behavior change interventions, and the foundations of serving as a leader in community-based settings. Throughout the program, students work closely with faculty and community leaders who are engaged in research and practice across a broad and diverse range of communities and health issues.
Biostatistics
The Biostatistics concentration prepares students to select appropriate methodologies, develop innovative research designs, and analyze data from studies related to emerging public health issues. Coursework is completed in experimental analysis and research design, multivariate statistical analysis, and other advanced statistical methodologies. Students have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty and leaders in the community to apply research skills to practical projects related to public health.
Environmental Health
Students in this concentration gain technical skills for the development, implementation and evaluation of practices that seek to identify, prevent or minimize the adverse impact of environmental and occupational hazards on human health. Students complete coursework related to the assessment and control of environmental and occupational exposures, the effects of these exposures on human health, principles of toxicology, and toxic regulations and policies. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to communicate environmental health risks to the public, analyze the impact of environmental assaults and exposures to susceptible populations, and manage environmental and occupational risks.
Epidemiology
The Epidemiology concentration prepares students to conceptualize a public health problem, design epidemiological studies, collect and analyze data, and interpret and disseminate results to a broad range of public health constituents. Students complete advanced coursework in epidemiological methods, and the epidemiology of chronic, infectious and social diseases. Upon completion of the program, students will have the skills to perform epidemiologic analyses that influence health and disease management and that contribute to the understanding of etiologies of disease prevention and wellness.
Public Health Administration
This concentration prepares students to assume leadership roles in the public and private sectors and to effectively create and implement policies and manage programs that promote the public’s health with the opportunity to focus on rural populations. Coursework is completed in health policy, finance and budgeting, public relations, program evaluation, leadership, legal issues, and resource acquisition and management. Students have the opportunity for significant research and practice involvement with public health and health services organizations in Indiana and beyond.
