For the first time, University of Georgia students and faculty with interests in human resource management and organizational psychology will have the chance to work with colleagues at Dublin City University (DCU) in Ireland. Vinson Institute faculty member Mark Foster (second from left in photo), who specializes in promotional testing systems, and Charles Lance (far right), UGA professor of psychology, met this summer with representatives of DCU’s Human Resource Management Group to establish the new exchange program.

According to Foster, doctoral students will be able to teach and take courses at the host university for a period of up to one year. Faculty may collaborate on research and teach short seminars in their areas of expertise. The Vinson Institute will provide service learning opportunities for DCU students, he adds.
