The Psychology Department encourages all students, first-year through seniors, to participate in psychological research. You need not have specific skills, but must be willing to learn. Often, students new to the lab can work with more experienced students on an ongoing project. Many projects result in poster presentations on campus , such as at the St. Mary's Poster Day and some are presented at national conferences such as the Society for Neuroscience and Eastern Psychological Association meetings.
Most students earn academic credit for their participation.
A limited number of paid positions also are available.
