Psych Club<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The goal of Psych Club is to foster a sense of community and belonging among Psych students (and people who like hanging out with Psych students\u2014we\u2019re inclusive!). To accomplish this goal, Psych Club takes on different responsibilities each year, depending on its membership, but typically they have hosted one Friday social each month and planned one larger social event each semester. In recent years, events have included: \u201cPsychTober\u201d (Halloween Trick-or-Treating around the research labs), study-away show-and-tell, trivia nights, movie nights, and snacks for finals-week study-days. If you are interested in being a part of Psych Club, please contact Dr. Ariel James – ajames2@macalester.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
