On April 6 and 7, the UBC Psychology community came together to celebrate undergraduate student research at the 20th Annual Psychology Undergraduate Research Conference (PURC).
PURC is an important event for the psychological science community of UBC as it provides a professional environment for undergraduate researchers to showcase their work, gain experience in presenting at conferences, and contribute to the scientific community.
Join us in congratulating the winners in the categories of ‘Oral Presentation’ and ‘Poster Presentation’ at PURC this past weekend.
