Wow! Doesn't DP look TALL?!
(Well it's an optical illusion... trust me...)

Many thanks to Ashley Wagers
for the AWesome program cover!

The registration process was well attended to by these fine RMU students!

I would list their names here, but they are wearing nametags, so that would be redundant! ;)

The space we had for posters was huge!
So, while it may not look like it, there are over 70 posters here!

We maybe should have spaced it out a bit more... NEXT time!

Poster 8:

Ashley Wagers smiles because she DID see all the changes!

(We miss you Ashley W.!)

Poster 19

Maria Olausson can't help but smile because her guess really IS better than yours!

(We miss you S. Maria B. T. O.!)

Poster 22

Erica Yalch introduces everyone to her poster with great enthusiasm!

(Plus, not many people get to use the word "annihilating" in their poster titles!)

Poster 53

Why is Jade Hart smiling? Because she now knows exactly where all the campus police set their traps!

Poster 55

Look! It's Kenneth Snyder providing a clarification as to the relationship between religiosity and intelligence.

(We miss you Ken S.!)

Poster 61

Melissa Thompson is excellent with cues. Here you see her providing a cue as to the location of her FANTASTIC data!

(We miss you Messy T.!)

Poster 81

Speaking of socially desirable, this looks like Rachel Ragozzino explaining why Hitler's personality might not be as preferred as John F. Kennedy's.

(We miss you Rachel R.!)

Poster 84

Genevieve Senovich is another very enthusuastic poster-welcomer!

(We miss you Genevieve S.!)

Logan Miles and Katie O'Dowd make their way through the crowds to evaluate the posters.

(Do they appear a little lost to you...?)

Apparently, DP had to introduce Dr. Hock in poor lighting.

He also seems to have found a little "microphone spaceship toy thingy" to play around with...

Somebody needs to grow up!

Looks like the lighting didn't get much better for Dr. Hock's keynote address:

PAVLOV'S METRONOME: How we got here from there. Tales of elegant, ingenious, and sometimes bizarre psychological research.

Proof that food was actually eaten! Or wait, maybe Ashley is taking food OUT of her mouth? Jade doesn't seem too certain about something... uh oh! A nice action shot of Katie scrutinizing Erica's eating technique while Melissa STABS her tomato!
HA! Nice try!
Not gonna catch Cindy Paul in the middle of eating!

Hey!? Is that Dr. Wheeler on the left looking for a place to eat?

(Does it look like he may be carrying TWO plates of food?!)

Paper 106

Maria El-Tahch enchants the audience with her findings on conformity perceptions!

(We miss you Maria E.!)
