Six psychology majors will be presenting papers at conferences in Rhode Island on April 16, and at Ursinus College on April 23.

Seniors Jamie Fagan, Judy Leahy, Vicki Maumus, Kelly Gallagher, Maria Cole and Carla D. Flaiis will participate in the Psychology Research Poster Presentation sponsored by the Eastern Psy- chological Associa-tion.

All participants are members of the Psych Chi National Honor Society and were notified about the conferences through the organization and Cabrini's psychology department.

Students were chosen on their scholastic aptitude, interest in the seminar and quality of the researched topic and its presentation.

Qualified students were identified by the psychology department faculty and asked to continue research and refinement of the paper.

"It's nice to go to all these conferences," said Dr. Anthony Tomasco, psychology department chair. "I'm just concerned about the time that these students are taking away from classes."

Several of these psychology ~tu- dents also participated in the Southeast Consortium of Higher Education's Honors Program Conference held in March at Immaculata College.

Cabrini has partaken in this event for the past five years.

"It's good to make traditions like this. It's good for the students and creates a good reputation for the college," Tomasco said.
