Students recently enrolled in a COGS research course will be giving poster presentations of their work. This is a great opportunity for Cognitive Science undergraduates to share their research, and also for lower year students to see the types of research they might wish to complete themselves.
Come join us for a slice of pizza and the chance for everyone to connect and exchange in person!
Date: Monday, April 13, 2026
Time: 4:30-7:00pm
Location: 4th floor of the building
