Welcome
No Mystery is so Profound as the Mystery of the Human Mind
We live in an age of space travel and artificial hearts, virtual reality and cloned sheep. Yet for all our technical advancement, our world is still a troubled one. We have school shootings and gang violence, broken families and teenage parents, racial conflict and cultural unrest, drug addiction and alcohol abuse, low school achievement and high dropout rates. We have greater material wealth than any society in the history of humanity, yet depression is common.
These problems will not be solved by a new drug, a new computer chip, or any other new technology. They will only be solved through an understanding of human thought, feeling, and action. This is the domain of the psychological sciences

- In May 2011, twelve students enrolled in a community psychology class travelled abroad with Professor Nancy Karlin. Following a week of intensive class meetings at UNC, the students enjoyed multiple educational and cultural opportunities in Italy where Dr. Karlin also pursued her research studying resiliency among earthquake survivors in L’Aquila. Dr. Karlin is presently planning to take a class to Thailand in summer 2012. It is anticipated that the students will engage in a service learning project, attend lectures, visit the homes of local residents, and much, much more. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Karlin: nancy.karlin@unco.edu.
