Registration and submission portals are now open for the 27th
Ohio Undergraduate Psychology Research Conference, to be held Saturday, April
27th at Miami University in Oxford, OH!
Undergraduate researchers from any school or institution in
the region are eligible and encouraged to submit an abstract for consideration
(due April 15). All accepted submissions will be invited for delivery as
oral presentations. Move beyond the typical poster presentation and gain
valuable experience in a comfortable atmosphere of your peers and excellent
faculty from across the region!
Even if they are not presenting, your students (and you!)
should join us to support their peers presenting research. Registration is free
and includes breakfast, lunch, and two special events:
Keynote address by Dr. Robert Bjork (UCLA): Dr. Bjork is a highly-decorated Past President of
APS and a leading researcher in learning and memory, especially as they relate
to educational practice. His research has identified the most successful study
techniques, distinguished between what we know and what we think we know,
critically evaluated the role of learning styles, examined the efficacy of
multiple-choice test formats, and much more. Dr. Bjork is an engaging and
entertaining speaker sure to please both students and faculty, who will summarize
this research in a keynote address titled "Managing One's Own Learning:
Beliefs, Techniques, and Illusions."
Discussion panel: Getting into graduate school: Faculty from Miami’s graduate program, as well as
new and seasoned graduate students, will convene a panel to provide advice and
answer any questions you might have about the graduate admissions process. This
will take place concurrently with the faculty meeting, so students can make
productive use of their time while waiting on you for a ride!
We would appreciate if you would help us to spread the word
by forwarding this information to the students in your department, especially
those that might have original research to present
resulting from independent study, Honors theses, summer programs, or senior
capstone and other coursework. Submissions will be accepted until April 15.
We encourage you to visit our website at www.MiamiOH.edu/OUPRC,
or reply by email if you have any questions.
