Sandra Sanger (Counseling and Student Personnel Psychology, Educational Psychology PhD Candidate) has been selected to be the recipient of The Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) 2010 Student Research Award. The award is given for her doctoral dissertation research titled: "Supervisor Interventions and Reactions following an Attempted or Completed Suicide by a Supervisee's Client." The award letter noted: "There were a number of excellent candidates, however, your research contributions to training were clearly outstanding." Sandra will receive her award at the Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association this August 2010. APPIC is an educational, non-profit organization with the mission of enhancing internship and postdoctoral training programs in professional psychology and has a membership of more than 700.
THE INTERN-NETWORK E-MAIL LIST
APPIC also maintains a separate e-mail list, called INTERN-NETWORK, which is a discussion list for internship applicants. This list is optional for applicants, though many find it useful. Applicants can use this list to discuss various aspects of the selection process or to ask questions about the AAPI, interviews, Match, etc. Since this list can generate considerable discussion at times, and thus considerable e-mail, subscribers may wish to use the list's "Digest"
option in order to keep e-mail to a minimum (see www.appic.org, click on "E-mail Lists," then on "Intern-Network" for more info about the Digest option). To subscribe to the INTERN-NETWORK list, send a blank e-mail message to:
subscribe-intern-network@lyris.appic.org
and follow the confirmation instructions as described above for the MATCH-NEWS list.
