The presentations by individual researchers will be capped off with a talk by Professor Susan Gelman.

12pm – 1pm: Snacks, conversation, and poster presentations of recent research.

1pm – 3pm: A discussion of the nature of university-community research partnerships, and how to continue building partnerships like the ones we have with local museums.
