The 15th annual Utah-Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools (UTOPSS) Fall Conference will be held Friday, September 13, 2013 at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah. The goal of the Conference is to improve the teaching of scientific psychology at the high school level. High school teachers receive activities that they can implement in their classrooms, resources, and the opportunity to network with others. Presentations by university faculty give teachers insight on topics that may not always be covered in their textbooks. We have a fabulous day planned!

University of Louisiana): I think (about thinking), therefore I am:
