Psi Chi
The National Honor Society in Psychology is called Psi Chi. There is a chapter
at this University. Membership in Psi Chi requires an overall grade-point
average in the top 35% and completion of twelve or more units in Psychology
with at least a B average. Dues are also required. The national organization
sponsors social events at national and regional conventions and distributes
a quarterly newsletter that describes its activities, scholarships, and
awards. It also sponsors a journal that publishes student research. Contributors
must be Psi Chi members who did the research as an undergraduate. (The submission
may occur after graduation). The local chapter has an annual Spring Awards
Event and sponsors speakers and social gatherings. All students are invited
to participate in these events. Psi Chi has a display case next to south
Science 250 (down the hall from the Psychology Department Office). If you
are interested in applying for membership, inquire in the Psychology Department
Office (South Science 229).
Psychology
Club
The Psychology Club is open to all students enrolled at this University.
There are no grade requirements, no dues, and no attendance requirements.
The Psychology Club arranges events for the benefit of psychology majors.
It is a student-run organization with a faculty adviser. Psychology Club
members receive e-mail notification of all Psychology Club events, and can
send e-mail to all other Psychology Club members. Each year the club must
re-form, with new officers. An invitation to join is e-mailed to all Psychology
majors every Fall.
All the officers working together, with input from interested members, decide
on events and services the club would like to sponsor. Past events have
included Get to Know the Faculty, career fairs, grad school application,
grad school fairs, field trips to psychology-related sites, GRE preparation,
resume development help, grad school application sessions, and just plain
fun parties
Human Resources Council
This club is a student affiliate of the Northern California Human Resources
Council. It serves students in the B.S. (Industrial/Organizational Psychology)
option by providing many of the same advantages they will enjoy later as
professionals, when they become full members of the Northern California
Human Resources Council. Benefits include networking with industrial psychologists,
workshops and seminars that can help develop skills needed by industrial
psychologists, and opportunities to develop leadership skills. The Department
of Psychology and the School of Business and Economics jointly sponsor the
Human Resources Council. Its faculty advisers are Dr. Mary Kay Stevenson
(Psychology) and Dr. Sharon Green (Management and Finance). It normally
meets twice each month. Meeting notices are posted in the glass-fronted
display case in the main hallway across from South Science 236 (not far
from the Psychology Department Office).
