Psi-Chi

"Psi Chi is the International Honor Society in Psychology, founded in 1929 for the purposes of encouraging, stimulating, and maintaining excellence in scholarship, and advancing the science of psychology. Membership is open to graduate and undergraduate men and women who are making the study of psychology one of their major interests, and who meet the minimum qualifications.
Psi Chi serves two major goals–one immediate and visibly rewarding to the individual member, the other slower and more difficult to accomplish, but offering greater rewards in the long run. The first of these is the Society's obligation to provide academic recognition to its inductees by the mere fact of membership. The second goal is the obligation of each of the Society's local chapters to nurture the spark of that accomplishment by offering a climate congenial to members' creative development. For example, the chapters make active attempts to nourish and stimulate professional growth through programs designed to augment and enhance the regular curriculum and to provide practical experience and fellowship through affiliation with the chapter. In addition, the international organization provides programs to help achieve these goals, including Society and regional conventions held annually in conjunction with the psychological associations, research award competitions, and certificate recognition programs.” (from PsiChi.org)

Psychology Club

The purpose of the Psychology Club is to increase students’ familiarity with psychology and its many applications and opportunities. In order to achieve this goal, we hold formal and informal meetings throughout the semester. Formal meetings usually include invited professionals from different areas of psychology who visit campus and speak to members of our club. Informal meetings vary from one semester to another, but some examples include movie nights, tours of Central State Hospital, and information/advice for registration.

Anyone can join – You do not have to be a psychology major to be in the club.

The 2011-2012 officers are:

• President: Lyndsee McCauslin
• VP: Alicia Reifler
• Secretary: Megan Costo
• Treasurer: John Kim

If you are interested in joining the club, the club's email is: Psychclub.gcsu@gmail.com
