What unique contribution will this organization bring to campus?:
Psi Chi-The International Honors Society in Psychology gives Chapman University students the opportunity to network with faculty and other psychology students. Through membership, the student will build a social network, gain leadership experience, and learn more about psychology-related careers and graduate school. The student member will not only be expected to take an active approach in utilizing Psi Chi resources to advance the science of psychology through student research, but to use such resources to personally position him/herself with the hands-on experience, preparedness, and knowledge to move on to the graduate study or career of his/her choice. This will be the medium for which students interested in psychology can socialize and share research interests and ideas, serve their community, and prepare for the future all while being commended for their high academic achievements and pursuits.
