Clinical Colloquia

Graduate Department of Clinical Psychology


Each year, several speakers are invited to campus to make a presentation on a topic that is especially timely or otherwise relevant to clinical training. Sometimes those topics supplement domains or perspectives not already available in the GDCP curriculum. These colloquia allow students to be exposed to several timely issues and subjects, often presented by persons considered national experts. A listing of recent colloquia speakers and their topics follows.
