THOMAS WILLIAMS PRESIDENT My name is Thomas and I m a psychaholic. Words cannot express how excited I am for this year with the psych society! Having said that, here s a bunch of words trying to express just that: I am a 4 th years honours student working under Dr. Ouellette. Life after Mount A is scary, so let s not talk about that, and instead focus on what a fantastic year we re going to have! I would love to see all of you come out to our events just let me know what I can do to make it so! When I m not in Crabtree (room 232 come say hi!) you can find me LINKS-ing it up at the elementary school, at home watching Degrassi with my roommates, or out and about enjoying the variety of garlic fingers this town has to offer. If you ever want to chat about things (psych-related or otherwise) feel free to stop me on campus, write on the society s wall, or send an email to twilliams@mta.ca.
ALLY PENNELL VP SOCIAL My name is Ally Pennell and I am your Social Chair for the 2013/2014 year! I'm a fourth year student from Ontario double majoring in Psychology and Biology.

PATTY MARSHALL VP FUNDRAISING Well hello there. I'm Patty Marshall, an honours student in Psychology. This year I am working on my thesis about false memories with Dr. Tomes. I am also the VP Fundraising for the super awesome Psych Society where I will be working on raising money so we can throw super awesome events! Next year, I hope to go to graduate school and specialize in memory. I would love to work with Dr. Fergus Craik at UofT. Hope to see you all in the future!
EMILY KERVIN FUNDRAISING ASSOCIATE I like the field of Psychology because it examines issues and phenomena that most people have experienced. In that way, Psychology allows me to feel more connected with others and with myself. I am involved with tutoring, TAing for the Psychology department, LINKS, and of course the Psychology Society. I am lucky enough to be working with Dr. Desmarais this year! We are working on a project involving the effects of cardiovascular disease on cognition. I will hopefully be continuing on in Psychology to complete a Masters degree in the field of Neuroscience. Hope to see you around!
