Welcome to all of you who received an undergraduate or graduate degree within the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at UCSB.

Inside Psychology

imageThe Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences produces an annual newsletter called Inside Psychology and distributes it to all department alumni. The newsletter is intended to foster contact and communication between the department’s alumni and the department, and to disseminate information about the activities and achievements of current members of the department and its alumni.

PDF versions of Inside Psychology can be found on the back issues page.

If you would like to contribute to the ClassNotes section of Inside Psychology, please feel free to submit a brief no-more-than 120 word update to Diane Mackie at InsidePsychology@psych.ucsb.edu. Please start submissions with your name and year of graduation. Include your email address only if you want it seen by the entire readership of Inside Psychology. Because we cannot check the content of all personal and professional web-sites, no web-sites can be included in the ClassNotes submissions. Because space is restricted, submissions may be edited and may be included in later volumes. We look forward to hearing from you!

The classnotes from Inside Psychology are also on the web, organized by year.
