Wayne, NJ — Twenty-one William Paterson University honors students will be presenting their research at three conferences this spring 2017, in disciplines ranging from psychology to communication disorders to music. 
 
Conferences include:
 
  • The Eastern Psychological Association Conference in Boston, MA from March 16 to 18;
 
  • The National Council on Undergraduate Research at the University of Memphis in Memphis, TN from April 6 to 8;
 
  • The Northeast Regional Honors Conference in Pittsburgh, PA from April 6 to 9.
 
“Faculty are emphasizing opportunities for all students to present at conferences, where they can participate in panels and poster sessions and obtain feedback from experts in their academic field,” says Barbara Andrew, interim director of the William Paterson Honors College and a professor of philosophy. 
​“We have doubled the number of students presenting at the Northeast Regional Honors Conference from two years ago,” reports Andrew.
 
“This year, seven William Paterson students will be presenting at the Eastern Psychological Association, an amazing increase from the one or two students who have participated in previous years” says Amy Learmonth, professor of psychology and director of the Cognitive Science Honors track. “I am very proud of them.”
 
The Honors College projects are varied, ranging from research into PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder among) labor and delivery nurses to whether modality matters in a comparison of comprehension on mobile screens versus on paper.
 
In addition to the external conferences, the William Paterson Honors College students will present their research on campus during Explorations 2017, the University’s expanded and enhanced series of programming in April that celebrates and highlights the depth and quality of research, scholarship, and creative expression.
