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!
