Message from the Department Head
Welcome to our returning students and to our new students who are on our campus (virtually) for the first time. We’re thrilled that you’ve chosen to study psychology here at UBC.
We’re proud of our accomplished, passionate and diverse community of students. Many of you work or volunteer in the classroom or in our labs and every year we learn from you, as you do from us.
Although we can’t be together in person right now, we still offer the same support to our students. I encourage you to reach out and stay connected to both your professors and your peers.
With warmest wishes,
Geoffrey Hall
Head, Department of Psychology
