The University of New Hampshire at Manchester is excited to host this year's New Hampshire Psychological Association (NHPA) Academic Convention on Saturday, April 22. Bringing together psychology students and faculty from across the state, the event will feature expert speakers, workshops, research presentations, networking and the PsychCup trivia game.

NHPA launched its annual convention in 2009 to provide undergraduate students with a forum to present their research, learn about post-graduation opportunities and network with professionals in the field. To promote interaction and collaboration among psychology students, faculty and professionals, the convention is held at a different New Hampshire college each year.
