1st Annual EHD Research Fair

On April 13, 2007 , the first college-wide Research Fair was held in conjunction with the EHD Spring Meeting. Thirty posters were submitted for the Fair, covering diverse topics, such as “ Love, laughter, and lessons: What a canine brought to a classroom for students with emotional disorders”, “ Effects of a carbohydrate supplement on affect in college swimmers”, and “ Personality traits of individuals who oppose same-sex marriage: A closer look at prejudiced attitudes”, to name just a few. A full listing of Poster Abstracts provides a glimpse of the range of interests represented among faculty and students of EHD.
