Three psychology students at Southeast Missouri State University are presenting research projects this week at the 2014 Midwestern Psychological Association conference in Chicago. Lucas Francis of Poplar Bluff and Noah Wolf and Destiny Brooks, both of Perryville, each spent the last few months working with faculty in the Department of Psychology researching their topics and developing a poster to present at the conference. The students will answer questions or give short presentations to groups of students or faculty who peruse their posters. While students are not required to participate in developing research of this magnitude as part of their course curriculum, these students decided to take on the project in addition to their full-time course work.
