The Psychology Club is a great way for you to connect with students and faculty involved with the psychology program. You will have the opportunity to share ideas and experiences and show support for one another in a friendly environment.
The first completely online psychology club in the nation, the World Campus Psychology Club, was launched in fall 2009 as an Internet resource for student learning and community-building in the study of psychology.
The purpose of the World Campus Psychology Club is to create and maintain a central and comprehensive resource area to support Penn State World Campus undergraduate psychology students by:
- building a sense of community and identity where members can share ideas and experiences
- encouraging members to pursue and excel in their present and future education goals
- fostering developing interests in professional fields of psychology
- providing opportunities for members to enhance the leadership and communication skills necessary for success in academic and other pursuits
This organization is student-driven, and the club members shape the direction that it takes. Members can have a say in the speakers, events, projects, and everything else that goes on in the club.
Contact the club’s adviser, Dr. Judi Withrow, at [email protected] with questions or if you need help signing up.
As a Penn State World Campus psychology student, you have the opportunity of complementing your studies with field work or a research project.
