Michael Harris Student Colloquium
The Department of Psychological Sciences is committed to supporting student undergraduate research. Part of that support includes hosting an undergraduate research colloquium each semester where students are invited to apply to present their research to faculty and their peers for constructive and reinforcing feedback.
Michael Harris attended USD (2008-12) and majored in Psychology. He was a smart, caring and inquisitive student. He got involved in research during his sophomore year working on an archival research project in sport psychology (Michael loved sports!). He presented the findings at a research conference (SPSP) and was a co-author on a peer-reviewed publication. He presented his work at our departmental colloquium. For all his hard work and dedication Michael won the "Outstanding Research Award for Graduating Seniors." Michael passed away in a boating accident in 2015. The departmental colloquium was named after Michael.
Participants in the colloquium receive recognition at the end of the year and have their names engraved on a plaque that is displayed in the departmental office.
