The Forum: SPSP's Student Newsletter |

Started in 2002, The Forum is a newsletter produced by the Graduate Student Committee for graduate student members of SPSP. The purpose of The Forum is to increase communication between the Graduate Student Committee and student members, with updates on projects, conference and professional development information, and contact information for committee members.
The Forum is distributed on a quarterly basis via the SPSP graduate student listserv. If you are not currently subscribed to the SPSP graduate student listserv and would like to join, please click here. The Forum is also available via this web site in PDF format.
