Introduction

Lambuth's Psi Chi chapter, the national honor society in psychology, functions in conjunction with the Lambuth Psychology Club.

The purpose of both Psi Chi and the Psychology Club is to encourage, stimulate, and maintain excellence in scholarship as well as to advance the science of psychology. In doing this, these groups help students achieve their career goals.

Activities

To fulfill their purpose, the Psychology Club and Psi Chi are active in the field of psychology, on campus and in the community. As an example, they have been involved in the following activities.

  • Holding regular monthly meetings
  • Attending the Southeastern Psychological Association Conference
  • Helping to begin and coordinate the Mid-South Psychology Conference
  • Conducting a self-esteem workshop for elementary kids at the local Boys and Girls Club
  • Helping begin Operation Snack Food, which raised $10,350 the first year and $5,000 the second year to buy snacks for needing kids at the local Boys and Girls Club
  • Sponsoring professional workshops for club members, such as Finding a Job with a B.S. in Psychology and Packing and Packaging Your Resume
  • Providing programs with guest professionals, such as a licensed clinical social worker and directors of admissions for different graduate programs
