is hosting the first Conference for Undergraduate Research in Psychology (CURP)
on November 15, 2017. All undergraduate students in psychology are
invited to submit their research proposals to present either orally or on a
poster at CURP. The purpose of this conference is to actively engage
undergraduate students in research, networking, and preparing for professional
careers. Students and their faculty mentors, advisors, family, and
friends are invited to attend CURP 2017.
Presentations. Undergraduate psychology students can present
their research findings during one of the two poster sessions lasting for an
hour and a half or during the hour-long oral session. Proposals can include
both completed and in-progress research. But having a completed research
project by the conference date is not required. Instead, evaluation will
be based on the quality of research idea and design.
Announcement
