The Priscilla Pond Flawn Child & Family Laboratory was established in January 1927. The UT Lab School has contributed to dozens of multifaceted research studies, supported the thriving of hundreds of children and families across generations and created an enduring legacy of undergraduate and graduate leaders who are applying the science of child development.
To celebrate a century of this educational, scientific, and community excellence, the Department of Human Development and Family Sciences and the School of Human Ecology, brings the community together for a series of scientific and celebratory events.
