RCIO 2013: Trends in Training
The 2013 RCIO conference was focused on current and projected future trends in training and development of employees. Participants from 10 universities and 4 non-academic organizations came together in Chattanooga for this excellent event. Conference presentations (there were 14 to choose from) covered a wide range of topics related to the theme and to the practice of Industrial and Organizational psychology more generally. Another highlight was the set of 33 excellent posters presented by graduate students and their collaborators. The keynote presentation was delivered by Dr. Kelley Slack, regarding her experiences working with NASA astronauts. Wise insights were also shared with our students and young professionals by Dr. Paul Muchinsky, Dr. Mike Biderman, and our full panel of presenters.
