What is the Tri-State Symposium?
Miami University's Psychology Department has been funded by American Psychological Association to initiate a Preparing Future Faculty program to improve the preparation of graduate students for faculty roles. Doctoral departments form partnerships with non-doctoral institutions, so grad students learn how faculty responsibilities are affected by institutional context. A highlight has been the opportunity for our doctoral students to do "placements" and be mentored by our partner faculty at College of Mount St. Joseph, Northern Kentucky University, Earlham College, and Miami's regional campuses at Hamilton and Middletown. In order to reciprocate our partners for their investment in our grad students, in 2001 we started the Tri-State APA-PFF Symposium, which is primarily a professional development opportunity for partner undergraduates. They show their research posters and attend events about graduate school admissions and life. Opportunities are also presented for graduate students to learn about faculty roles and for doctoral and partner faculty to learn about topics of mutual interest.
