A Message from our Psychology Department Study Abroad Program
Though we all continue to shelter-in-place due to COVID-19, that has not stopped the learning process of our Gators. Our Study Abroad program would like to share the fruits of their labor with you: a Youtube channel featuring tips for self-care, social-emotional resources for young children, and shout-outs to all our essential workers from students like you!
We are starting you all off with their introductory video, but feel free to explore and share their channel with friends and family.
Department Office is Closed Until Further Notice
If you have any questions, please email us at psych@sfsu.edu and we will get back to you shortly.
