Our program has an excellent presence at SIOP and AOM conferences; we even host an annual reception each year at SIOP. 

The DC metro area is full of opportunities for rising IO psychologists. One major resource is the Personnel Testing Council of Metropolitan Washington

PTC offers monthly talks and panels hosted in the area including various networking happy hours where consulting and testing companies set up booths and inform students about their internship and entry hire programs. Additionally, PTC hosts the annual Consulting Challenge, where students are presented with a real-world consulting challenge that local organizations are currently facing in a realistic RFP (request for proposal) format. Students collaborate in groups to act as if they were external consultants bidding on a consulting project and the winners earn a cash prize.
