The UST Psychology Society, together with the UST Psychology Department, will organize a week-long event entitled, “IMMERSE: Psychology Week 2023.” IMMERSE aims to foster the Psychology students’ active participation in communities, ensure a smooth transition from an online to a face-to-face setup, and strengthen relationships within the psychology community.
