Recruiting Participants

Here's an update on the recruitment process:

• Until Testing sets a standard list of test times they are responsible for scheduling each participant's testing hours.
• P/S Managment is still responsible for find the the volunteers.
• After Testing sets a standard list of test times and notifies P/S Managment (which, hint hint, you could do that through the blog) P/S Managment will be responsible for scheduling participants' test times.
• Dan in P/S is in charge of recruiting in the behavioral/social sciences.
• Katrina in P/S is specifically in charge of Psychology Dept. recruitment.
• I (Bryony) am in charge of contacting Donna for participant suggestions.
• Two email addresses of participants have been sent out to Kyle and Dustin in Testing via email. If you guys need me to post those onto the site I can, but I would rather not for security reasons.

Any questions, please just post and ask.
