Each year the Department of Psychology and the School Psychology Program sponsor an institute for current students, faculty, and area mental health professionals. Institute presenters represent national leaders in school psychology and related areas that impact the practice of school psychology.

The Institute consists of a three-hour skill-based workshop for community-based professionals, students, and interested faculty. The afternoon includes a research colloquium presented to the Department of Psychology and others interested in the presenter's research. The day ends with an informal meeting with current Ph.D. students to further discuss the presenter's research and other professional issues impacting the field of school psychology.
