Psychology Takes Flight Closing Reception

Head to the Cummings Center for the History of Psychology to celebrate the final weeks of the Psychology Takes Flight exhibit. This free event lets your family explore how psychologists played a crucial role supporting the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. You'll encounter fascinating artifacts and original documents, plus hands-on stations where visitors can try out recreated versions of the psychological tests pilots actually took back then. At 6:00 PM, retired pilot Steve Summer joins Assistant Director Dr. Jennifer Bazar for a moderated discussion about how aviation training and aircraft design evolved throughout the 20th century. Summer brings real firsthand experience to the conversation, while Dr. Bazar provides historical context—a meaningful combination for anyone curious about this era. Light refreshments will be available. Since space may be limited, please RSVP ahead of time to confirm your attendance.
