The Psychology Department sponsors a Psi Chi chapter. Meetings and activities are posted in the psychology building.  An annual student recognition ceremony is held on the Thursday evening in June that precedes spring graduation ceremonies. New members are inducted into Psi Chi at that time and selected seniors are recognized for their outstanding undergraduate accomplishments.

Membership in Psi Chi is open to undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in psychology and who have met the following minimum qualifications.  View the National Psi Chi website for information on requirements and for their online application:  https://www.psichi.org/?page=become_member

Membership in Psi Chi is an earned honor.

A quarterly national newsletter is distributed on campus. Psi Chi is useful for reference purposes such as applications to graduate schools and for jobs.
