The AAPA breakfast is an excellent networking opportunity for students and early career professionals before the convention begins. Come meet and greet to discuss your academic and career goals.



AAPA Lunch

We are convening discussion groups during the lunch hour to provide members with more opportunities to network, connect, and discuss common interests and experiences. The discussion groups include divisions (Division on Students, Division on Women, and Division on South Asian Americans), task forces (Social Justice, Practice, and Early Career), and the Asian American Journal of Psychology (with the editorial team). Box lunches are available for purchase for those who are attending the discussion groups and would like a lunch or for those who prefer not to go out for lunch. Please purchase a box lunch by Wednesday, July 28, 2010 if you would like a box lunch and please register and complete the Lunch Questions on the registration form if you are interested in attending one of the discussion groups. Vegetarian lunch options are available.



AAPA Mentor and Mentee Reception

The AAPA Mentor-Mentee Reception allows students, young professionals, and more established faculty and mental health professionals to connect in a social hour setting. Students will be matched with professional members around various areas of interest or development, based on preferences indicated in the Reception Registration Form. If you are interested in attending this reception as either a mentor or mentee, please register and complete the Mentor-Mentee Reception Registration Form. If you have any questions, please contact Steph Pituc (stephpituc@gmail.com).



Volunteer Opportunities

Becoming an AAPA conference volunteer means that you will volunteer approximately 3-4 hours and receive a reimbursement of your registration fees at the end of the conference day.  Volunteers will be assigned to different functions of the conference such as helping with the Book Drive, registering attendees, and assisting with A/V equipment. If you volunteer for a shift, we will do our best to ensure that you will be able to present at and attend other sessions you are interested in. This is also a great opportunity to meet and interact with other AAPA students.  Please indicate your interest in volunteering when you register for the conference.  If you are interested,  select the box that says you are interested in volunteering.


Student Travel Awards

AAPA offers some travel awards for student presenters. AAPA student presenters who have been a member anytime in the last three years are eligible to apply. Priority will be given to the first authors, students who have not received the award before, and students traveling longer distances to the convention. Following the acceptance of your proposal, students should send application materials to the AAPA Awards Chair: Karen Suyemoto at karen.suyemoto@umb.edu.
