Psychology

The University of Wyoming's Department of Psychology is a student's first stop in creating a life-long career in social and behavioral sciences. We strive to provide students with training in psychological theory and methods in an atmosphere of intellectual rigor and technical competence, and we promote an understanding of behavior, emotion, and cognition through our strong commitment to excellence in research, teaching, and service.

Dr. Lillian Portenier joined the UW faculty in 1925, later becoming a full professor and chair of the Psychology department. Her legacy gift allows dozens of graduate and undergraduate students to attend professional conferences each year. Conference attendance brings attention to their research and is an important part of their professional development. The fund also helps to offset the costs of doing thesis and doctoral research.

Your support of this fund directly benefits of UW Psychology students. Thank you!
