Spring 2022 - Virtual Honors Colloquium

Due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, CSU Chico moved to a virtual campus during the Spring 2020 semester. Even though the campus is moving back to more in-person activities, the 36th Annual Department of Psychology Undergraduate Honors Colloquium will be taking place in an online format.

Starting on May 6, this page will offer video presentations for each of the students in the psychology honors program. Please admire their work.
