40 Applications: Taking stock of how things are going in IntroPSYC
By Meghan E. Norris and Riley J.T. Bonar
Over the last few units, we have shared career stories from PSYC100 alumni with you. There are more to come!
At this point, we want to pause with you to look around (…because it’s vision week!). How is your development journey going?
As you think about your own professional development, this might be a moment where you consider taking a module towards the curated program created between PSYC100 and the Queen’s University Human Rights and Equity Office. This is an optional program, offered to help meet student requests for professional development in areas often of interest to them. A reminder that the modules offered through this program are not for credit. We offer this program as a way of building non-credit professional development opportunities in areas commonly of interest to students in this course.
To complete the program, over the duration of this course, you must complete 4 out of the below 8 training modules. These modules take approximately 30-60 minutes to complete. Modules must be completed before the last day of classes to earn the certificate of completion. After the last day of classes, a list will be run to identify students who have completed at least 4 of the modules below . You will receive a Certificate of Completion from the Queen’s University Human Rights and Equity Office titled “Queen’s HREO Foundations in I-EDIAA: A pilot in partnership with PSYC100 for 2026-2027”
If you complete fewer than 4 modules, this is still meaningful professional development! You are welcomed to list those individual modules as completed on your resume, however, it cannot be linked to the program directly.
The modules for you to select from (you must complete at least 4 to earn the Certificate of Completion, but you can complete more!):
Reflecting on Positionality for Learners
Harassment and Discrimination Module for Students
This is also a time where workload can feel heavy. We don’t always have the time or resources to take on extra things. If you feel like some extra academic support would help to lift some stress, you are not alone—we have all been there. We have a team at Queen’s here to support students when the academic workload feels heavy, and to support students in case you hit a roadblock. It is important to know—everyone hits roadblocks! Say it again! Everyone hits roadblocks! It’s also important to know that you are not alone and that you have support. If some academic support would be helpful, especially if you are thinking ahead to exams, please book in for a free 1-on-1 meeting with our Student Academic Success Services team! They also have some great online resources, designed to support students through common academic tasks and challenges (including resources for writing papers, and test-taking strategies!).
If you have course specific questions, please be sure to check our onQ page for how to access office hours. We have the best TAs around and they are happy to help!
