student positions available!
 

We are looking for sport and exercise psychology student members to take part in the leadership of the Sport & Exercise Psychology Section with CPA. You can make a huge impact on the development of sport and exercise psychology for students and gain valuable organizational experience to add to your CVs! The main position is Student Representative. Students may also apply to sit on the conference planning and practice/training committees. The minimum commitment is one year for all positions (from June to the following June). 

 

The Student representative will be required to attend 3-4 Section board meetings, usually done via conference call. Additional duties would normally include developing the content for the Student Sport and exercise Psychology webpages, creating events as possible throughout the year, and/or developing resources for our student members. This position is relatively new, however our large portion of our membership is students so we need someone who can lead the way for sport and exercise psychology students!

 

The committee positions require occasional meetings and/or email correspondence throughout the year. The conference planning is at its highest in November when abstracts are reviewed, but events are also planned throughout the summer and/or early Fall. There may be a follow-up at the time of the posted schedule in March/April. The training/practice committee is in the process of developing guidelines for psychology students and members to become sport psychologists and currently occasional feedback is needed, usually done by email. A PhD level student is preferred for this position.

 

If you are interested in making a difference in your section, send your CV to: torzeck@interchange.ubc.ca with the position you are most interested in. Final votes and decisions on the positions will be made at the AGM/Annual conference in June 2010. Feel free to email about additional information regarding these positions or ways that you, as a student member can help our Section out!
