Psychology Graduate Students' Research Blitz

The Graduate Student Liaison Committee (GSLC) hosted a "Research Blitz" event on Thursday, February 13. Seven graduate students presented their research findings to peers and to a general psychology audience, each in a 5-minute "Blitz", followed by short Q & A discussions.

Lexi Schermer, psychology graduate student and current president of the GSLC, and Rachel Goeller, associate director of graduate studies, came up with the idea to facilitate a forum where the incredible research across all psychology areas in the department can be shared.
