If you wanted to attend the Master’s, Doctoral, or Junior Faculty Consortia, which were to be offered this year in Austin in April, then we have good news for you. The SIOP Consortia Committee has re-engineered these training sessions and they are now free to all eligible SIOP members.  Registration for the 2020 SIOP Virtual Consortia is required, and you must be up to date on your membership dues. The following provides some information for each track. Please consider registering and spread the word so that our colleagues can benefit from connecting with and receiving mentorship from other SIOP members.

The Doctoral Virtual Consortium offers two tracks: applied and academic. There will be a mix of synchronous and asynchronous sessions as well as two live networking events at the beginning and end of the consortia week. The Doctoral Consortia will be held during the week of July 6, 2020. If you have passed comprehensive exams, you are eligible to attend. No need to be nominated and no limit on the number of students per program. If you have question, please contact Emily Hunter (emily_m_hunter@baylor.edu) or Kate Keeler (keeler.79@osu.edu).

The first ever virtual SIOP conference is now live on the Whova app! More than 2000 people have already registered for the premier I-O event of the year. If you are not registered, it is not too late to access all the impressive content as well as network with established I-Os and tomorrow’s stars, all on your own schedule

Next week, on June 16, SIOP will embark on a new adventure. After cancelling the in-person conference due to the Covid-19 crisis, SIOP leadership decided to take the event into the virtual realm. Just a few short months later, almost 500 sessions are ready to be accessed and nearly 2,000 people have registered for the event. Conference sessions will be available as documents, slide decks, videos, and even a handful of live-streamed events.

SIOP Foundation Visionary Circle members are now voting on their final choice for the first-ever $100,000 Visionary Circle grant. Voting closes on April 23, 2020 at 11:59 pm EDT.

Current plans are for the members of the Visionary Circle to learn the voting results at a webinar on April 29, 2020, and for a SIOP Virtual Conference session to share information about the process and results more broadly. The conference will be held June 16-30, 2020.
