Virtual: Science of Happiness

On Thursday, April 24th at 5:30 pm the David M. Hunt Library will host a virtual event on the Science of Happiness with Professor Catherine Sanderson. Professor Catherine Sanderson will describe cutting-edge research from the field of positive psychology on the factors that do (and do not) predict happiness, and provide participants with practical (and relatively easy!) ways to increase their own psychological well-being.

Catherine Sanderson is the Poler Family Professor of Psychology at Amherst College. She received a bachelor’s degree in psychology, with a specialization in Health and Development, from Stanford University, and received both masters and doctoral degrees in psychology from Princeton University. Her research has received grant funding from the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Health. Professor Sanderson has published over 25 journal articles and book chapters in addition to multiple textbooks for learners of all ages. In 2012, she was named one of the country’s top 300 professors by the Princeton Review.
