Summer '24 Newsletter - Revised (2)

Welcome Message from the Program Director VOL. 11

Leah Horvath, PhD Program Director, Associate Professor

Greetings, ISPP Community and Friends!

Summer seems to be rushing to an end – I hope this message finds you well and having enjoyed the warm summer days! I always love summer in Chicago – and the chance to get out of the city for a bit, too! As we prepare for the fall start, I have reflected on the recent past and the coming semester in terms of numbers. Maybe that’s because math is on my mind; I’ve been helping my rising 8th grader study for the high school entrance exams (yikes!). But I also like numbers – there is something neat and rational about them in a world that doesn’t always feel neat and rational. So here we go – ISPP by the numbers!

46 new students starting in our fall 2024 cohort 15 new PsyD graduates 11 new interns training in 6 different states 3 new PsyD faculty members 1 new ISPP staff member 1 amazing ISPP community!

Read more about our grads, interns, and new faculty and staff on the coming pages. I hope you enjoy these summer updates and getting to know our ISPP Student Spotlight – Eva Valdez – and our ISPP Alum – Dr. Hayat Nadar. Our blessings are too many to count (even though I tried!).

Sending my best to our ISPP community,
