A History of Our Future: APS’s Student Caucus
In the summer of 1988, Kathleen Chwalisz, then a graduate student at the University of Iowa, attended a pajama party in Bonnie Stickland's suite at the APA Convention. (In response to the smokers attended by the male leaders of the field, the grandes dames of psychology threw "jammy parties" for themselves and their proteges.) The talk of this particular party was the recent formation of APS and, as the women discussed the new organization, Chwalisz suggested that a student group should be a part of it. After several of her peers responded positively to the idea, she agreed to organize the new group.
