Explore psychology and aviation from World War II to the present.
Join us for a free celebration of our Psychology Takes Flight exhibit before it closes this November! Visitors are invited to explore the exhibit for free and learn how psychologists contributed to the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. You’ll see rare artifacts and documents, and test your skills and knowledge with interactive recreation of original tests.
Additionally, at 6:00PM, we’ll welcome retired pilot Steve Summer for a moderated conversation with Cummings Center Assistant Director Dr. Jennifer Bazar.
