In the world of St. Mary’s, no three letters have more importance than the letters SMP. These letters provoke fear in the eyes of procrastinating seniors, pride in the eyes of St. Mary’s grads, and general bewilderment in the eyes of the general public.

At the conclusion of the year, students publicly present their project.

The psychology department has already planned an afternoon SMP symposium to showcase research conducted by students in their department. You can see their research topics in the quick 3-slide presentation below. Truth be told this post is really just an excuse for me to test out the embedding capability of google presentations
