His records date from 1977. That year’s conference was reported as the 12th annual MUPC by host St. Cloud State University’s psychology department, implying that MUPC’s inaugural event was held in 1966. Perhaps some senior faculty members know more about its origin and early years.

We are unaware of any statewide or regional undergraduate psychology conference in the United States that is older than MUPC. May the tradition continue and flourish.
