Psychology Department Fall 2018/2019 Catalog Year What is Psi Chi? About Our Chapter: Psi Chi is the National Honor Society in Psychology, founded in 1929 for the purposes of encouraging, stimulation, and maintaining excellence in scholarship, and advancing the science of Psychology. Membership is open to graduate and undergraduate students who are making the study of psychology one of their major interests and who met the minimum qualifications. We work together to put on educational and social events each semester to give back to the community and learn more about what the future in psychology studies holds! Advantages of a membership include: • The documents – a membership certificate and card which gives you tangible evidence of membership. • The references provided throughout one’s lifetime (this service alone is worth the investment). • The experience gained by working with Psi Chi is excellent for building up a resume; it is difficult to attain that first managerial and creative experience. • Psi Chi is a springboard for professional growth. Opportunities are made available to the members for promoting their research, receiving national and international recognition, meeting and interacting with leaders in your field of research, and meeting Psi Chi members of other chapters who will also be future leaders. • The US government recognizes our membership as meeting one of the requirements for entrance at the GS-7 level in the federal service. GMU Students interested in joining require: • Completed 12 credit hours in Psychology, 6 of which must me at GMU. • Attained an overall GPA of 3.25 • Attained a Psychology credit hour GPA of 3.40 • A Faculty Sponsor • Currently enrolled graduate students who have been formally admitted to the M.A. or Ph.D. programs are eligible for membership as long as they have maintained a minimum GPA of 3.0 • Organization dues: $65.00, one-time application fee!
