We are pleased to announce the Eleventh Annual Stanford Undergraduate Psychology
Conference (SUPC), to take place at Stanford University on Friday and Saturday,
May 20th-21st, 2011. Abstracts must be submitted online by Sunday, March 20th 2011.
We kindly ask that you forward this announcement to student who you believe might 
be interested in attending.

 
Sponsored in part by the Department of Psychology and the School of Humanities and
Sciences at Stanford University, SUPC is a showcase for high-quality undergraduate 
research. It also provides an opportunity for participating students to exchange
ideas and to make valuable contacts. Along these lines, we seek students who have
performed quality research and who are excited about discussing their work with
other students and psychologists. 

 
The keynote speaker for this year's conference is Dr. Michael C. Frank, an Assistant
Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. He received his PhD from MIT's
Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences in 2010, after graduating from Stanford 
with a double major with Honors in Symbolic Systems and Comparative Literature. His 
research focuses broadly on language acquisition, the role of social cognition in 
language development, and the reciprocal effects of language on cognition. He has 
received numerous awards and honors for his research and teaching, including the
Walle Nauta Award for Continued Dedication to Research and Teaching, the Angus 
MacDonald Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, and the David Marr Prize
for Best Student Paper from the Cognitive Science Society. His work has also been 
featured in Discover Magazine, the London Telegraph, Babytalk magazine and more.
