Psycho-Babble Newsletter

One easy way to keep informed about departmental events is through our monthly newsletter, Psycho-Babble. Our Department coordinator, Jeff Conrod, edits this document, and he’s always on the lookout for information to share. Each issue features a calendar of upcoming events, news about Department members, notification about jobs, internships, and volunteer opportunities, and announcement of our “Mesmerizing Major of the Month”—a profile of a major, selected at random. Psycho-Babble is distributed to all majors, but any student who is interested can ask to be on the mailing list.  Download recent editions

Any student interested in psychology can be part of our Psych Club. This organization takes on different responsibilities each year, depending on its membership, but typically it coordinates social events (e.g., movie nights, pumpkin carving) and volunteers in the community. In some years, Psych Club has raised money for charitable causes through selling Department t-shirts.
