The School of Psychology Research Day will provide a snapshot of some of the recent research in the department. We have a lineup of 10 faculty members who will tell us about their latest projects. The event is meant to be very interactive: each person will have a 15-minute slot and the last 5 minutes will be reserved for Q&A. This event will help the audience get a better sense of the research being conducted in our school and facilitate new bridges and collaborations.
