42nd^{nd} Annual Prairie Undergraduate Conference

The Prairie Undergraduate Research Conference provides undergraduate students of psychology an opportunity to present research conducted as part of their Honours thesis or independent-study projects in a friendly, professional environment.

We encourage all students hoping to gain valuable academic experience to present at this conference. In addition, we encourage those students who may be doing an Honours thesis in the near future to attend to learn about research, potential supervisors, and the overall thesis experience.

If you are new to the campus at the University of Winnipeg, please consult the campus map to familiarize yourself with the session and keynote locations as well as parking availability. For those joining us from abroad, information about Winnipeg and events in town may be found here.
