Activities:
The Psi Chi Chapter has been involved in the following activities in recent years:
 Psychology Round Table Series
Psi Chi invites speakers from across the university to discuss a topic of personal
interest to the speaker (often their own research) that relates to psychology. Round
Tables typically occur at least once a month during the Fall and Spring semesters. Recent
talks have covered topics such as:
"Do you believe in magic? The psychology of
superstition" -Dr. Furlong
"I will always remember...(or will
you?)" -Dr. Taylor
"Is Freud dead?" -Dr. Atlas
"Views on euthanasia" -Dr.
Walker
"Cognition and animals" -Dr. Dibrell
"Getting into Graduate School"
AU faculty and Career Development Center representatives discuss the process of
considering and applying to graduate programs related to psychology as well as
expectations for "life as a grad student". This event generally occurs early in
the Fall semester.
Field Trips
Periodically Psi Chi and the Psychology
Club attend guest lectures and colloquia at other universities (e.g. Cornell
University, Saint Bonaventure University).
