2015 Friday Seminars Lance Ferris The Pennsylvania State University, Chair As chair of the 2015 Friday Seminars Committee, I am pleased to share with you the lineup for this year’s seminar presenters and topics. The Friday Seminars offer researchers and practitioners an opportunity to develop new skills, explore new topics, and to keep up with cutting-edge advances in research and practice. The invited experts will provide a thorough discussion of the topics in an interactive learning environment (e.g., lecture accompanied by breakout discussions, case studies, experiential exercises, and networking). I hope that you will join us for at least one of our sessions. However, space is limited, and these sessions sell out quickly. I encourage you to register early to secure your spot. Please contact me via email at
