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 19, 2012 in the World Languages and Cultures Lab, NQ 160 (note that the location has changed since last year).
