News & Events

On May 11th, 2013, over 350 Monroe Elementary School students, staff, and parents came to the University of Denver to explore and learn about what it is like to go to college. Graduate students, faculty, and staff from the psychology department engaged 3rd and 4th grade students in learning about brain functioning and structure. The demonstration included helping the young students to make their very own model of a neuron to take home and the dissection of a gelatin brain. Students (elementary and graduate alike) had a great time sharing knowledge and getting excited about psychology!
