Annual Poster Session
Department of Psychological Science
General Information
Each year in mid-April, the Department of
Psychological Science holds a poster session in which undergraduate and
graduate students present their research.
The event is open to students of all majors who have completed or
partially completed any behavioral science research project in which they took
an active role. Such projects include
independent research conducted under faculty supervision, collaborative work
done with a professor, Honors theses, Master’s theses, and independent research
that fulfilled a course assignment.
Students can present finalized projects, preliminary data, or predicted
results. The poster session is informal
with a friendly atmosphere. The next poster session will be held Thursday, April 23, 2009.
