This newly created annual event is named in honored of former CASP President Sarah Gelish who passed away February 13, 2023 from Epilepsy. Sarah was 32 years old. Please join us in celebrating Sarah's passion for children and school psychology as we welcome the featured speakers for her lecture series:
April 25th: Jack Naglieri, PhD. Dr. Naglieri will be presenting "A Personal Journey to Equitable Assessments: Measuring Thinking not Knowing"
May 2nd: Chris Brown and Tony Crespi; Chris and Tony will be presenting "Personality Assessment in Contemporary Practice: Options and Opportunities with Current Assessment Instruments."
NASP CPDs will be awarded after each lecture.
Lectures are from 8:30-3:15 each day (Registration 8:00-8:30)
You can register for both or a single lecture.
Both full day lectures will be hosted at Fairfield University. Fairfield University was a special place for Sarah. Sarah received her Masters Degree and Sixth Year Certificate in School Psychology from Fairfield University. Additionally, Sarah was in the first EdD in Educational Leadership co-hort at Fairfield University.
Recently, Fr. Gerry Blaszczak, the university’s alumni Chaplain, said a Mass in memory of Sarah on Feb 17, 2024. A plaque in her honor was blessed, dedicated, and installed in the lobby of the Egan Chapel.
