IOPC Alums: Where are they now?

IOPC alums - Where are they now?

Here is some information about our former club members, in terms of what they are doing after life at UMD, as well as a few of their own words about how IOPC had served them:

 

Justin Bethke (one of the founding members and former President of the club) is a graduate student in the industrial/organizational psychology program at Mankato State University . "There is little doubt that the club was instrumental in getting me where I am. I really think that the most valuable part of the club was the contacts that Alexandra brought. It was pretty cool to talk to all of the people that we interviewed."

   
  Curtis Heim is pursuing a master's degree in industrial/organizational psychology at the University of Wisconson - Stout. "I guess the best thing that I got out of the I/O club was the experience of visiting St. Cloud and Mankato . I came to the realization that it is more than just getting into a school, it is about finding an environment that matches yourself, one that you are going to be comfortable in. For individuals looking into I/O, the I/O club is a great place to start. Networking, Networking, I am constantly hearing this, you need to start somewhere, why not start in the I/O club? It is a great group of helpful, fun, and energetic students."
   
Jenny Lannon has been an Americorp Fellow since she graduated from UMD in 2003. "Being part of the I/O psychology club was a wonderful experience for me. I was able to learn about the field in a different way than in the classroom. Networking with professionals and graduate students were among the highlights of being in the club. There was also a wonderful place for developing leadership skills in the club."
   

Since leaving UMD, Marcus Weller (one of the founding members and former club VP) has been at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities
campus, working with Dr. Deniz Ones in the I/O psychology department doing research on practical intelligence.  "The I/O psychology club
helped me plan my undergraduate years so that I can better approach graduate school in I/O and has also opened my mind to the many opportunities available to students interested in research and experience in I/O.  It also provided an excellent chance for us to meet others who had similar interests, which made it a really fun experience to be a part of."
