APS Convention 2013

APS 2013 Convention
This May, some of the best minds in the field of Psychology got together for the 25th Annual Association for Psychological Science convention. Eleven students from Brigham Young University-Hawaii not only had the opportunity to attend the event, but were able to present some of their research. A large portion of the people who presented at the convention were professors and graduate students, so it was a great opportunity for our undergraduates to present their research in different “Poster Sessions”.

Along with presenting their posters, students were able to attend symposiums, dealing with different matters within the psychological field. Other events at the convention included workshops, plenary sessions, and award addresses. From book signings to presidential addresses, the APS 2013 convention had all of the essentials for any psychological event.
