PURC will be holding its 2nd annual Undergraduate Symposium on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025. We’re really excited to be able to celebrate the amazing work that undergraduates are doing in the psychology department.
We’ll cater breakfast (and have coffee & pastries all day), a graduate student keynote, undergraduate presentations, and multiple prizes for the best presentations of the day. We’ll have three types of presentations: posters, standard talks (15 minutes), and flash talks (5 minutes).
Come out to support your peers, learn about the diverse topics and methods being in our department, and to network!
