Eleven students from Morningside College presented at the 26th Annual Great Plains Student Psychology Convention held March 17-18 at Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg, Mo.
Three students received first-place awards and four students received second-place awards for presentations. First and second-place awards were given for the best paper and poster project in each session.
