Your support promotes access to unique experiences for UR psychology students. This year, these opportunities included travel to professional conferences for students early in their college career and opportunities for intercultural exchange with visiting psychology students from abroad.

We encourage psychology majors to participate in conducting research after completing (or waiving) Psych 100. The best way to find a research experience that fits you is to check out what kinds of projects are going on. If you are interested in learning more about conducting research, contact a faculty whose projects or area appeals to you. Many faculty members are actively seeking students, and will be happy to talk to you about how you might fit in.
