Rio Grande to host Psych presentation, QA

RIO GRANDE,— Ever wonder what Fido is thinking amidst that epic battle of tug-o-war? What about that dolphin you saw on vacation; was it as fascinated by you, as you were it? And do elephants really battle stress similar to humans?

 You can get your answers on Nov. 6, when the University of Rio Grande Psychology Club hosts ‘Psychology – It’s Not Just For Therapists Anymore!: Comparing Animals to Humans Across Psychology.’

 The two-hour presentation by Melissa Shyan-Norwalt, Ph.D., free and open to the public, includes a question and answer session and is scheduled for 6 p.m. in room 118 of Bob Evans Farms Hall. Shyan-Norwalt, one of 60 certified Applied Animal Behaviorists by the Animal Behavior Society, joined the Psychology Department at Rio Grande as an Associate Professor this fall.

Shyan-Norwalt, along with Assistant Professor of Psychology Chad Duncan, Ph.D., who came to Rio Grande last fall, signifies a restructuring of the entire Psychology program to be more scientific and research oriented.

Rio Grande offers baccalaureate degrees in Psychology, Sociology and Social Work through the School of Behavior Sciences. The department opened a new Psychology and Social Work Lab this fall.
