Psychology
Club
What is Psychology Club?
- The Psychology Club is a recognized student organization with membership
open to any interested individual. The Club meets at least monthly and
frequently bimonthly, and organizes speakers, programs, field trips
and other activities of interest to psychology students, in addition
to serving as a social activity. The number of programs sponsored by
the Psychology Club is entirely dependent upon the activity level and
interest of its student officers and members.
Typical Club activities include: sponsorship of the annual Psychology
Department Picnic in early May; fundraising for students to attend the
annual meeting of the Midwestern Psychological Association (held each
year on the first weekend of May); and, the sponsorship on campus of
nationally known speakers from a wide range of viewpoints and areas.
Examples of such speakers have included Thomas Szasz, M.D., (well known
for his ideas on the reality of mental illness); Albert Ellis, Ph.D.
(author of numerous books, the developer of Rational Emotive Behavior
Therapy, and also noted as a sex therapist); Sol Gordon, Ph.D. (a widely
published expert in the field of human sexuality); Bibb Latane, Ph.D.
(prominent social psychologist and past president of the Midwestern
Psychological Association); Frank Farrelly, MSW (the social worker
who originated Provocative Therapy); Shane Lopez, Ph.D. (a leading
figure in the area of Positive Psychology). The Club also sponsors psychologists
from the local community and from our own faculty and staff who make
presentations on their areas of interest.
We encourage your ideas so we can make Psychology Club what you want
it to be!
