Psi Chi at The University of Akron

What is Psi Chi?

Psi Chi is a national honor society consisting of graduate and undergraduate psychology students that exists to encourage and maintain scholarship in the science of psychology. In other words, we exist to help psychology students achieve their academic and career goals through creating a community of like-minded individuals who want each other to succeed. We organize resources and events for our members relating to research opportunities, study groups, networking and mentorship, career panels, graduate school, and so much more. Being a member in Psi Chi not only recognizes you as an outstanding psychology student at UA, but it also facilitates and encourages you to continue down a path of excellence. We are here to support your success in psychology, and we are The University of Akron Chapter.
