We've Been So Long at the Fair: Two Decades of Psychology on Display

Abstract

Since 1975, Nebraska Wesleyan University has conducted a biennial psychology fair. Undergraduate psychology students present a wide variety of laboratory exhibits and displays for the benefit of high-school psychology students and their teachers, and distinguished visiting psychologists give lectures and meet with high-school teachers. More than 15,000 high-school visitors have participated in the fair, which aims to provide public education, career information, resources and networking for high-school psychology teachers, and educational opportunity for undergraduates.
