The primary goal of the SPEAR Team is to engage undergraduate students in the field of psychology. The team typically meets several times a month to discuss ongoing research projects that have been primarily developed by students on the team.
The team also discusses other issues relevant to psychology, such as tips on applying to graduate school and opportunities to get involved with other events on campus (like the HDFS/Psychology Club). Students have the opportunity to review and discuss research articles in their area of interest and learn statistical techniques using SPSS and Mplus software.
