Twenty psychology students presented their research to the OBU community on Scholars Day 2007. Eighteen of these students presented the results of the projects that they each designed and carried out as part of OBU Psychology's two-semester sequence of Research Methods courses. In addition, two upper-level psychology students shared results of independent research projects they designed and carried out. Below are images of psychology students in action at Scholars Day.
