The largest of these was our 24th SPSSI-NY Greater New York Conference on Behavioral Research held on Oct 21, 2012 at Fordham University, where many of the 140 participants focused on the 2012 theme of "Promoting Social Justice Around the World." 

This Spring 2013, SPSSI-NY is planning more local activities with area schools, including:  (1) On March 2, a gala international psychology reception at Fordham University.

On October 21, 2012, 140 students and professionals gathered for the 24th SPSSI-NY
