Psychology Chapter
The Psychology alumni chapter was formed in the year 2000 and relaunched in 2010 at a celebratory event on the Melbourne campus.
Professor Patrick McGorry AO was the distinguished guest speaker at the re-launch event, and spoke on the topic of ‘A 21st Century Approach to Mental Health’, focussing on early intervention and youth mental health, based in part on his experience with the Orygen Youth Health Research Centre, where he is both Executive Director and Director of Clinical Services.
In 2011, the chapter's major event featured special guest speaker Professor Ann Sanson on the topic: Studying social and emotional development from infancy to adulthood – from ‘pure’ to policy relevant longitudinal research.
The chapter also enocourages Psychology alumni of La Trobe University to attend the School of Psychological Sciences Research Colloquia which runs for most of the year, covering a broad range of subject matter related to current research in psychology.
