The Psychology Department, along with The School of Humanities and Social Sciences, is proud to showcase student scholarly work and provide opportunities for students to share their efforts with the TCNJ community. Students presented work that has resulted from Independent Research, a Senior Thesis or Capstone course, an Internship, a conference presentation, or any other scholarly experience. In many cases, the student has collaborated with a faculty mentor on their academic endeavors.

The Psychology Department would like to congratulate their students on their successes.
