A Spring departmental cookout and softball game ends the year on a happy note. Departmental Facilities Located in the newly-renovated Dunning Science Center, Psychology Department facilities include classrooms, labs, and faculty offices. There is also a spacious psychology lounge equipped with Macintosh computers designated for student use and connected both to the campus electronic network and the Psychology Department computer network. Field Laboratories in Comparative Psychology include observations of osprey behavior aboard the College's research vessel on the Chester River, the study of social interaction in white-tailed deer, waterfowl, and other animals, in the forests of a nearby wildlife refuge. Students in the Developmental Psychology course schedule weekly sessions at a local day care where they assist the staff and assess the children's cognitive and motor development in various predesigned laboratory exercises.
Internships are available at local community mental health clinics and counseling centers.
