Freshmen psychology students are encouraged to attend the following events:
Psi Chi meetings.
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.
Psi Chi, it is not something freshmen can join, but they may still wish to attend and hear
the guest speakers! That way they will be prepared for this opportunity in undergrad,
because the organization does have membership requirements for GPA. The link below
provides more information.

Sept 15th, Oct 20th, and November17th *This meeting has a guest speaker and
students would likely gain most from attending this meeting.
RIPS (research incubator for psychology students)
RIPS provides psychology students with the opportunity to gain research experience.
Visitors will hear about research projects being developed by current undergraduate
and graduate students. The RIPS meetings are actually a great way for psychology
students to see the research process at work. This would be especially helpful if they
are unsure how that whole process works and whether or not they want to focus on
gaining that type of experience during undergrad in preparation for grad school.
All meetings are from 3:30-4:30 in White Hall Room 219; Space is limited Students wishing to attend need to sign up on sheet that is available in the psychology
office (room 234 of Southeastern Hall).
Oct 13, Nov 10, and Dec 8
