About Ed Psych Student Research Day 

The Department of Educational Psychology instituted Student Research Day in recognition of the abilities and talents of its students. This annual event is designed with three purposes:

• Provide a format for undergraduate and graduate students to present their research and be recognized locally by peers and faculty

• Give students an opportunity for professional development and practice for future state or national conferences

• Promote a department-wide activity that brings faculty and students together around a common goal of disciplined inquiry
