Psychology Student Research

Several students remain on campus during each summer to engage in collaborative research with faculty from the Psychology Department. During the 10 week session, they immerse themselves into the existing literature related to their interests, designe and implement their studies, and then analyze and share their findings. At the start of the fall semester, they presente their research at a campus-wide summer science poster presentation.
