The University of Toronto Scarborough Psychology and Neuroscience Departmental Association (PNDA) 2021 Academic Research Panel

Abstract

The Psychology and Neuroscience Departmental Association (PNDA) advocates on behalf of its members to the Department of Psychology at University of Toronto Scarborough and fosters academic excellence and career growth. PNDA provides academic and professional support by creating opportunities to interact and network with like-minded individuals while serving as a hub for all matters pertaining to the Psychology, Mental Health studies, and Neuroscience programs, thereby connecting members, students, faculty, staff, organizations, institutions, companies, and communities. The Academic Research Panel (ARP) is a two-day event focused on fostering research and student engagement amongst UTSC students specifically in the psychology, neuroscience and mental health studies programs. The ARP was launched this year by PNDA executives to provide a platform for students to network with like-minded individuals and showcase their scientific work. The first day consisted of a professor and alumni panel and the secondary day highlighted research from undergraduate student presenters.
