research opportunities at pitzer

Hi, I’m a senior in high school and a prospective student at Pitzer. I was wondering if any current/past students at Pitzer (or anyone else who wants to share) could share a little bit about the research opportunities at Pitzer. I’m especially interested in hearing about psychology research, but I would love input from anyone who could speak to research at Pitzer. Is it easy to get involved in research with professors? Do students often stay on campus over the summer to do research with professors/conduct their own research? How common is it for students to coauthor/publish research papers or travel to conferences to present their research? Are there good internships available? Do you feel like Pitzer has given you enough research opportunities to be competitive for grad school opportunities., especially PhD programs? In general, how has Pitzer prepared you/ made you competitive for grad school? How accessible is funding for research? Thanks so much!!
