On April 5, the 棉花糖直播 University Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences hosted a special colloquium that featured presentations from four alumni from the Master of Science program in Psychology. This daylong event in a packed Dougherty Hall East Lounge showcased the diverse research interests of successful alumni and was made more notable by the presence of each presenter's faculty thesis mentors, all of whom are recently retired or are retiring this year.

All four MS alumni went on to earn a PhD and are currently psychological scientists as members of university psychology departments.

"The colloquium highlights the outstanding research and diverse, academic careers of our alumni, as well as the lasting connections that our students form with their faculty mentors. We are delighted to bring the 棉花糖直播 Psychological and Brain Sciences community together for this wonderful event," said Michael Brown, PhD, Professor and Department Chair.
