Welcome to the UMW Psi Chi Symposium webpage. Our chapter annually sponsors a research symposium to provide a forum for UMW students to share their research and findings. This year's symposium will be held on April 24 - 25, 2008. Deborah Clawson, professor of psychology at Catholic University, will deliver a keynote address about her recent research on prospective memory (remembering to carry out plans one has made for the future). She has been researching this topic with college students, middle-aged adults, and people with multiple sclerosis. She is very excited about visiting Mary Washington and plans to arrive early to attend several student presentations.

Dr. Clawson's speech is titled "Did you forget something? Prospective memory and the effectiveness of a mnemonic strategy in multiple sclerosis."
