PURC was created in 1992 by UCLA’s Dr. Elizabeth Bjork with the objective of creating opportunities for undergraduate research assistants to develop their presentation skills and share their research efforts with their peers and colleagues during a day-long event. In addition to fostering undergraduate professionalism, PURC has proven to be a meaningful and exciting forum for students from universities throughout the nation to communicate their research activities with one another.

The conference will be on Friday, May 12^th, 2023 in Pritzker Hall at UCLA and will showcase undergraduate psychology research projects through poster sessions and 5-minute data blitz sessions.
