“GIT” Out the Word on I-O Psychology

Getting I-O into Intro Textbooks (GIT SIOP) is a task force commissioned by SIOP President Talya Bauer, and its goal is to help raise awareness of the field of I-O by (just as the name implies) getting more Introduction to Psychology textbooks to include I-O material.  Among the many ways we have been working on our goal, we recently created short promotional videos explaining what is SIOP and industrial and organizational psychology.  Specifically, these videos feature SIOP members talking all about I-O: what it is, what they do, and what can be done with it.  You can check out the videos here:

• 60 second version:  https://youtu.be/9LD19HOy4hM
• 5 minute version:  https://youtu.be/DLR6eCrLih0

            As can be seen, a lot of work – and a lot of help from a lot of people – went into creating these videos.  In the short term, these videos can be used for a variety of purposes.  For instance, instructors can use these videos to introduce our field to students who don’t yet know it but want to learn about it (which is a primary goal of GIT).  Help get the word out by spreading these videos to your networks! Stay tuned for more details from the GIT Taskforce! If you have any questions or ideas for the taskforce, please contact Debbie DiazGranados at diazgranados@vcu.edu.
