General Meeting 1/16/18

Hello Psi Chi! Thank you for those joining us for our Week 3 general meeting! For this meeting we discussed a number of opportunities to expand your knowledge and experience within the field of psychology.

First, we shared a list of national psychology conferences throughout the year. We know most of you will be attending WPA, but if you are interested in traveling to a conference that may be more focused on your particular field of interest, please check out this list! In the previous blog post below, we've attached a google doc of the list that you can access.

Here are a few more research opportunities approaching this year. If you are not a psychology major, but your major falls within the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) field, we've shared a link to a website offering different summer research programs. The link is provided here:

For those interested in the clinical field of psychology and working with children, Florida International University has a summer program for you! The summer treatment program assists children with ADHD and other related behavioral, emotional, and learning challenges. This is a great way to gain hands-on experience for undergraduate and graduate students. For more information about this program and application click this link:
