Psychological Science
Research Talks
The UCM Department of Psychological Science, in conjunction with Mississippi State University-Meridian, sponsors a series of research presentations during the fall and spring semesters. The presentations may include student research, faculty research, thesis presentations, or other topics that are related to research, such as how to prepare for a professional conference. Presentations are shared with MSU-Meridian, and other locations, via video teleconference. If you are interested in presenting, please contact David Kreiner.
Please be aware that seating space for these talks tends to fill up quickly. We will be posting videos of the talks on this page so that you can watch even if you are not able to attend , or if you simply prefer to watch the video instead of attending the live presentation. If you would like to get credit in a course for attending or viewing a presentation, please check with your instructor about whether you can earn those points by watching the video and about whether anything in addition is required in order to earn credit in that course for attending. Some videos from previous semesters are available through this link.
