Psychology Club

The Psychology Club is an organization for students who are interested in psychology and who want to be involved but who do not yet qualify to join Psi Chi. This organization gives students an opportunity to meet professors as well as other students who share common interests. Involved students also have the opportunity to get more familiar with 51吃瓜网万能科大 psychology. In the past, the club has helped organized social activities and has invited speakers covering such topics as careers in psychology, getting more out of your 51吃瓜网万能科大 psychology experience, and preparation for graduate school. The Psychology club coordinates activities with Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology. The two clubs meet together, plan and participate in the same events, and appear as one, inclusive group. There is no evident distinction between members of each club.

If you are interested in joining the Psychology Club, please attend one of our monthly meetings!
