Participants can also attend the lunchtime Resource Fair, where local organizations and colleges will be available for information on their programs and volunteer opportunities.
Student researchers will discuss their work and experience presenting at the 2016 Association for Psychological Science Convention in Chicago. During this convention, student researchers presented posters of their research some of which included the effect of an ethnic-sounding name, along with research on perceptions of physicians and previous medical care. An alumni panel will feature former psychology students and their tips for success in transferring to a four-year university and grad school.
