greetings - this is all new to me, so forgive me if my intentions fall a bit flat here... hoping to give y'all a few resources in prep for our time together next month. You're going to get quite a varied overview from me... one thing i'd like to share is my work in the area of divorce education. there are two citations below that i hope you can look up (both in same volume of Family Court Review). i'll try to add a couple other resources for you in a separate post. looking forward to meeting you all and spending some time talking about where you can go from here! ~k

attaching (hopefully) the cover page from a 1996 Child Development article that should be easy to find...just use this to get the full citation for looking up the article:
here's a 2002 piece on Marriage and Public Policy - looks at marriage ed, divorce prevention, and divorce ed

another side that i intend to explore with you is the last 14 years i have spent working at the local Community Services Board. Our particular CSB just celebrated its 25th anniversary. attaching the article that was in the local papers that provides a pretty good history of our agency. i also ask that you visit our agency website at www.racsb.org and look at the variety of services and programs we offer, typical of most CSBs. unfortunately, some of the service areas are not entirely up-to-date in their info, but you'll get a fair idea of the agency nonetheless...

Hi there: I'm Dr. Levy and wanted to test this out to see if the technology is too advanced for me (!!). I should probably ask my 15 year old to do this for me while he's texting his friends, studying for exams, and listening to his IPOD :).
I will be posting a handful of chapters from my I/O textbook and another reading or two for you. Drs. Cober, Rosen, and I spoke last week and decided on the readings to give you a flavor for I/O content and processes. Hopefully, these readings will show up somewhere in the next few days.
I look forward to meeting all the W&L students and hearing about how much things have changed since my years there (1980-1984; I was back 5+ years ago to give a talk and had a great time). Take care.
I'm going to try to attach/post a few chapters from my textbook that will give you some background to I/O. I will also be posting 1 or 2 articles as well.
Happy Reading!!
I apologize for the late notice on this, so please
before class tomorrow, please visit the Annual Reports on the Career Services page.

Please review the data posted for Class 2007 and Class 2001. What observations do you have? Any projections into Class 2008?
Examine the summary of W&L psychology/neuroscience majors and their reported status. Write a brief document that could be shared with parents of potential psych majors who are concerned about return on their investment. Limit this to one page.

Greetings from Athens, GA!
I am looking forward to meeting you all in person in a few weeks. In the meantime, I've attached an article to give you some background information on the clinic and system in which I work. My plan is to do a case presentation / lecture on for the first class meeting and have a discussion/seminar on the second day. The article will give you some information that will be helpful on both days.
The article is a bit dated at this point which means some of the test materials, policies and definitions referenced have been since revised or are no longer used. Also, there will be a number of acromyms that the authors assume their audience understand. Don't get hung up on any of that. I'd like you to get a sense of the polices that are involved in defining learning disabilities and how manipulating these standards and definitions could impact students. The article will give you an idea about policy impacting groups. When we meet, the case presentation will give you an idea about how policy impacts an individual.
Let me know if you have any questions or requests. Again, I'm looking forward to getting up to Lexington.

Timely info/editorials about how the changing political scene may affect your present and future career options...hopefully in a good way!
Hi Everyone,
I am excited to be coming to W&L as part of the Applications course. I'm really looking forward to meeting the students in this course and talking with you. I only wish there was a way for the alumni to meet each other too because the bios of the other alumni look really cool. I am sure that I have some tough acts to follow as the last speaker in this series (or "terminal visitor" as Dr. Elmes calls me).
There are two readings that I'd like to suggest that you do before my visit on March 30-31.
Norman, D. (1988). The Psychology of Everyday Things. New York: Basic Books. pp 1-34.
Mindell, D.A. (2008). Digital Apollo: Human and Machine in Spaceflight. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. pp 1-6.
Dr. Elmes will provide you copies of both of these readings. I suggest doing the Norman chapter first. Prop your feet up while you're reading it and do a little thinking about what things you encounter everyday work well and what ones work poorly and why.
Speaking of working poorly, this blog comes to mind for me. I think I posted my resume here on the blog somewhere earlier today, but I'm not sure if it is here or not (and if it is here, where). If you can find it, congratulations.
As you'll see from my resume (if you can find it) and from my visit, a big part of my work is to try to design things so they are easy, efficient, and effective to use. So if things like blogs that are hard to use annoy you, then we will have fun during my visit!
Students: I'm going to go light on the reading for my class segment as you seem to be doing an awful lot of reading for this course. While my topic will be the MOST INTERESTING, we can cover a lot with my presentation and your questions.
The one reading assignment I would like for you to review is: Greenberg, S.A. & Shuman, D.W. Irreconcilable Conflict Between Therapeutic and Forensic Roles. Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, 28, 50-57.
I'm awaiting your questions and look forward to meeting with you. I may bring a surprise guest - another W&L alum.

Folks,
I am really looking forward to my visit to W&L next week. I've enjoyed following the postings in the blog during the term, and I know I have a lot of tough acts to follow -- I can tell that you have learned a lot from the previous visitors.
In case you want more reading (and listening) than what I suggested earlier (seriously!), I have a few fairly recent web-based resources that will give you a sense of what life is like at Bell Labs these days.
Interview with Jeong Kim, Bell Labs President: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/122/mad-scientist.html?page=0%2C0
Podcast with Cheryl Coyle (who worked for me when the podcast was recorded), describing Human Factors at Bell Labs: http://www.podtech.net/home/4916/bell-labs-human-factors
Thoughts on the balance of Research vs. Development by a former Bell Labs guy, John Mashey: http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/12/r2-d2-and-other-lessons-from-bell-labs/
There is also a Wall Street Journal article that I think will give their view of the "State of Bell Labs" that should be coming out any day, but it hasn't appeared yet.
I'm looking forward to reading your questions here in the blog over the next few days. And looking forward to meeting you all on Monday!
Mike
