Interested in sharing your work with the Applied Psychology community?
Psych Café is a welcoming, low-pressure space for students to share research, class projects, works in progress, or what they learned at a recent conference. It’s a great opportunity to practice an upcoming presentation, get comfortable talking about your work, and add a presentation to your CV.
Presentations are held remotely and include a 20-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute Q&A. Students may present live or submit a pre-recorded presentation, and students from all Applied Psychology programs and levels are encouraged to participate.
