Midland University Psychology

Hello! As many of you know, I retired in May after 27 years of teaching at Midland. Thank you for the wonderful messages that many of you submitted for my Memory Book as well as to the Midland Facebook stories. You truly don't know how much these - and all of you mean to me! Working with you is what I loved most about teaching. 🩷

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are in need of an adjunct to teach Psychology of Learning this fall. I would be able to share lots of materials (syllabi, PowerPoints, etc.) so there would be no need to start from scratch.

Here are some specifics:
Most ideal -- the person is able to do two sections, we can keep it as scheduled -- MWF 9-9:50am and MWF 10-10:50am. Open to being flexible and only doing in-person Monday and Wednesday with then alternative assignments for the students on Fridays.
If the person can only do one section then it would need to be 8-8:50am MWF. Same thing about being flexible on Fridays if need be.

Here is the link for the job description on our webpage.

Hi everyone! I know it's been awhile since I've posted but I've enjoyed keeping up with all of you!
I wanted to share that we are looking for someone to teach our PSY 498: Advanced Experimental Psychology course this Spring semester. This is our capstone class for the major where students do individual research projects. The class is scheduled for the afternoon, but could be moved to a night class. If you are interested please apply online - https://midland.applicantpro.com/jobs/3506700.
Let me know if you have questions!

Exciting news for Nebraska’s behavior analysts! Yesterday, licensure for behavior analysts unanimously passed in the Nebraska legislature and was signed by the governor. This is important because it protects consumers of ABA services. This effort was led by Midland alum and fellow behavior analyst Desireé Jo Dawson. Along with the help of other committee members, Desiree’s organization and perseverance made this possible!!
