The Psychology Club was established to provide students with opportunities for academic, career, and interpersonal growth. We work with campus faculty and staff, and outside organizations and professionals so that our members can create networks and build upon their foundations in psychology. Our meetings apply empirical research and theory to real-world applications that are relevant to students, and provide the occasional speaker on topics such as careers and graduate school. We are even in the process of creating partnerships to provide members with the potential to complete service-learning hours as well. So add us on Facebook, come to our meetings, and see what YOU can get out of Psych Club!
