The Psychology Program Welcome Back Event included 80 cadets (Psychology Majors) and 9 current/ future Psychology Program faculty. The primary purpose of the event was to kickoff the academic year with highlights (AIADs, Summer Training, and Service Events) and potential opportunities for Psychology Majors. This year, the program has initiated new cadet led committees to reinforce service and develop leaders of character. In addition, the team participated in a comradery building Kahoot!, which focused on key Psychology terms and fun facts about cadets and faculty. We concluded with taking cohort photos and an overall Psychology Program Cadet photo.
