“No conference is more important for Industrial-Organizational Psychology than the annual Society of I-O Psychology conference," said Dr. Rodney L. Lowman, University Provost, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Professor in the Marshall Goldsmith School of Managment (MGSM). "I am delighted that several Alliant professors and students will be presenting at SIOP. It's difficult to get papers accepted by this conference, and those from Alliant that were accepted speak well to the quality of our faculty and students.”

Dr. Steve Ashworth, Goldsmith School adjunct professor in San Diego, will be named a SIOP Fellow during the conference.

Taking an opportunity to announce the recent appointment of MGSM founding Dean Jim Goodrich, Alliant will host an exhibitor’s table which will distribute MGSM literature. Two students will staff the booth, making themselves available for questions about the Marshall Goldsmith School of Management. 

Alliant also plans to actively recruit and interview for full-time and adjunct faculty for our MGSM programs at various Alliant campuses during the conference.

The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology is a Division within American Psychological Association, and it is also an organizational affiliate of the American Psychological Society. SIOP’s mission is to enhance human well-being and performance in organizational and work settings by promoting the science, practice, and teaching of industrial-organizational psychology.
