Psi Chi Meeting 11/14/17

Happy Week 8 Psi Chi! We would like to thank those who were in attendance at our first social event last Thursday! It was a great opportunity for our members to bond closer and relieve some stress away from school. We have more socials planned in the future so keep your calendars open!

In our meeting today we discussed graduate school preparation, the WPA abstract deadline, and an opportunity to run for an open position on our executive board.

Unfortunately, our community service chair, Caitlyn, will be stepping down from her position for personal reasons. She has done an excellent job with hosting philanthropy events and being involved within our club thus far. For those interested to take on this position, please prepare a short speech by our next meeting, 11/21/17, on why you would like to fulfill this position. You can also mention any unique qualities or ideas you may think will be beneficial to Psi Chi. Afterwards, we will have a majority vote with all of our members to decide who will be our next community service chair. Please contact us if you have any questions about the position.

For those who will be presenting at WPA, the abstract is due tomorrow, Wednesday 11/15/17, at 11:59PM!!!!!!! Here is the direct link to submit your abstract: PROPOSAL SUBMISSION FOR WPA

You will not be able to present if you do not meet this deadline so please make sure to get your abstracts turned in!

We were very fortunate to have an admission officer, Christy Ranells, discuss the various graduate programs offered at the University of La Verne. Students interested in Clinical Psychology and wish to pursue a Psy. D or a Masters degree should find this information quite useful. The specific types of programs offered are Marriage and Family Therapy, Educational Counseling, and School Psychology. Christy provided a PowerPoint slide that includes important information such as application requirements, admissions timeline, tuition costs, eligibility, etc. Click the link below to access the PowerPoint:
