There are 6 psychology professors ( 3 male, 3 female, and one staff member – our miracle working secretary) in the photo below; can you find them? The rest of those lovely faces are our students who could make it to this particular photo shoot! You have to love those GET PSYCHED shirts. They really capture our persona as a community.
These photos, taken by Stephanie Buturla, were a part of Dr. Nichols’s INQ 277 May term titled “Exploring Vision Through the Eye of the Lens”.
This class utilized the digital camera as both a metaphor for the human eye and as a tool to create photographic representations of principles of human vision. Cameras and the human eye were compared and contrasted in order to better understand both. Mechanisms of human visual perception, such as color vision, depth perception, and motion perception, were discussed in lecture format and then assignments carried out wherein students take purposeful photographs to illuminate the discussion topics. The idea is that application through photography of principles discussed in relation to human vision, i.e. how we sense and perceive the world, may give us a better understanding of how and why the human vision system works the way it does. Photographic expeditions were done both around campus and as part of full day trips.

Clearly being in Biological Psychology class around 3 on Friday afternoon would be miserable. Just ask Cole and Karla.
Before the start of classes, there was a psychology department retreat at Dr. Friedman’s house. A high point was the cane battle between Dr.s Friedman and Whitson.
Who would you consider the winner?

Salem, Va. – The Princeton Review has named Roanoke College one of the best colleges in the United States for the fifth year in a row. In addition, Roanoke was named a great school for students who major in business/finance, computer science and psychology.
According to the Princeton Review survey, students say Roanoke has great career services, a great library and happy students.
“Princeton Review is a student voice among the rating systems,” Roanoke College President Michael Maxey said. “We are excited that the voices of students at Roanoke praise our balance of ‘comfort and challenge.’ We help students find what they love to do through equal measures of support and challenge.”
“Every college in our book has outstanding academics,” said Robert Franek, Princeton Review’s senior vice president-publisher. “Our goal is to help applicants choose and get into their dream college—the college best for them.”
