Abstract
This article describes my experiences in establishing the Department of Psychology at the University of Prishtina in post-war Kosova. The Department was planned during 2000–2001. During this year a commission set up the curriculum, searched for professors, established a Department philosophy and developed an admissions policy. During the first years of the project issues addressed included enriching the faculty, organizing the community service program, establishing a students' organization, and attempting to ensure stability by developing local talents. During the last few years the development of Psychology as a profession has emerged as the overriding issue and activities included advancing licensing requirements and employment of graduates. The first class of students graduated the Summer of 2004 and this year the Masters program was opened.
