This student-oriented Conference not only gives students a chance to present their research to a student and professional audience, but also includes panels of experts discussing careers, applying to graduate schools, and publishing student research. There are opportunities to meet some leading psychologists and social researchers and a reception for faculty and students from colleges throughout the greater New York area. All presenters receive a Certificate of Recognition for their participation. A prize is awarded for the best completed paper provided at the submission date. At this Conference, MEC students won the top prize.
Research is limited to that where the first author is an undergraduate student.
Deadline for submissions is Monday, January 29. The 21th Annual Great Plains Students' Psychology Convention will be held at Missouri Western State College St. Joseph, MO, March 23-24, 2001. This is the first annual Finger Lakes conference devoted exclusively to presentation of undergraduate psychology students' work. Organized like a professional conference, our one-day event will feature undergraduate students presenting their research projects, research proposals, and literature reviews in short oral presentations or poster formats. We will also present cash awards for the best paper and poster presentation.
