Psychfest 2019: Psychapalooza

Following tradition, Psychfest is an annual event during which second-year Master’s students, as well as new PhD students, present their research to the entire department. It’s the only opportunity for students to share their work with everyone in the Psychology department, so it’s a rare and exciting occasion for each student. More information and to RSVP for snacks, lunch and BOH.

This year’s theme is Psychapalooza: Peace, Love, and Psychology.
