The Social Psychology of a Pandemic

 

THIS SUNDAY August 16th, 11am, please join our “online traveling” once again to the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta (FUUSM).  You can log on any time between 10:30am & 11:00am as they “gather” before the service. The service will be broadcast on their Facebook page, too. Their Facebook page is located here, and includes a complete Order of Service, including music and readings.

 

The Social Psychology of a Pandemic:
Conspiracy Theories, Social Anxiety, and Why Some People Won’t Wear a Mask

by Mark Sibicky, PhD, who is McCoy & Plankey Research Professor at Marietta College. A social psychologist, Dr. Sibicky will explore uncertainty and our reactions to it as a component of the pandemic experience.

Gather @ 10:30  & Service @ 11:00 AM EST

THANK YOU LETTER TO UUFA

Thank you for dropping off food to the pantry. I was off but was elated when I returned to campus to see the donations your congregation brought. We continue to see high need from our students, with new students signing up each week. We have over 150 that have used the pantry since the start of the pandemic. That’s only been possible because of our supportive and generous community. I appreciate your help in feeding students in need.
