Welcome
The University of Colorado chapter of Psi Chi and CU's psychology club provide resources to students with an interest in psychology, both to majors and non-majors. Members can meet peers with similar interests, make professorial contacts, and find research and volunteer opportunities. Events are held throughout the semester that feature guest speakers and explore various areas of psychology in-depth.
Psi Chi
Psi Chi is the National Honor Society for Psychology that recognizes outstanding academic achievement. It allows for opportunities to present ideas, interests, and research at a regional and national level. Although Psi Chi membership is not required to join the Psychology Club (or vice versa), Psi Chi members at CU-Boulder are encouraged to and frequently play an active role in the operations and maintenance of the CU Psi Chi/Psychology Club.
Psychology Club
The Psychology Club is an organization made up of students at the University of Colorado who have an interest in the diverse field of psychology. Throughout the year, the club sponsors formal programs and informal social gatherings that allow its members to explore psychology outside of a classroom setting. The club provides members with information on graduate school, research and volunteer opportunities, as well as a solid support network of department staff, faculty, and the community. These benefits, along with the friendships made, enable members to gain new insights and real-world, practical experience in the field of psychology.
