Congrats to New Initiates:
We would like to recognize our new initiates for the
Spring 2007 semester. Their names have been added to
the Members page of the Website. Becoming a member
of Psi Chi means that you have worked incredibly
hard throughout your first few years of college and
that's something of which you should all be proud.
You have kept at least a 3.2 G.P.A. overall and a
3.2 G.P.A. in your psychology courses. That should
be great motivation to you to keep working hard in
your classes. Keep up the good work!
Trip to Ellsworth Prison:
Psi Chi will be
traveling on a day trip to the Ellsworth
Correctional Facility in Ellsworth, KS on
Wednesday, April 4th, 2007. The facility houses
minimum, medium and maximum inmates. A tour of the
facility will be given. For more information please
visit the prison's home page at http://docnet.dc.state.ks.us/ecf/standard/default.htm
Sign up today or e-mail Heather at hah6688@ksu.edu
if you are interested in attending!
Tightrope-Walking Rats:
Between 15 - 20 volunteers are needed to train our tightrope-walking rats for
the
K-State Open House. If you are interested in helping
out with this, sign up today or contact Psi Chi Vice
President, Tim Burrell at tpb7777@ksu.edu.
This is a lot of fun and you will be trained on how
to train and care for laboratory rats.
Fundraising T-Shirts:
We are going to be selling t-shirrs to raise some
money for Psi Chi. There are two designs that we are
considering. Please let us know which one you would
like to see us use. We will keep you informed on
when they will go on sale.
Cords and Stoles:
Attention May Graduates:
Psi Chi Members graduating in May can
order Psi Chi cords or stoles to wear on graduation.
Honor Cords are $11 and Honor Stoles
are $21. Sign ups will be available later. Just keep
this in mind.
Pubcrawl:
Psi Chi has not had a pubcrawl in the past few
years, and the officers thought it is about time to
have one! The date is Thursday, March 29th, 2007. This
is the Thursday after we get back from Spring Break.
We will be making t-shirts for it also. If you are
interested in the pubcrawl, please contact Heather,
Amber or Jericho to sign up. More details to come.
Psychology Teaching
Practicum:
Applications are being taken for an Undergraduate
Teaching Practicum for Fall 2007. If you would
like an exciting experience teaching a recitation
class once a week for four hours credit, check this
out.
Applications are due to Dr. Harris by March 9.
Feel free to ask if you have any
questions about this. Applications are also
available in an envelope on
Dr. Harris's office door (BH 421). Click here
to go to application.
Spring Banquet:
At the end of each
school year, Psi Chi holds an annual banquet in the
spirit of recognizing undergraduate students,
graduate students and faculty in the Psychology
department. This year, the new Psychology Alumni
Board will be attending as well. This year's banquet
will be held on Saturday, April 21st from 5:30 -
7:30 at the Aggieville Pizza Hut. Mark your
calendars to attend and be watching for more details
as the semester progresses.
Bluemont Hall 588:
Attention all members! Psi Chi has its own room -
Bluemont Hall 588 - located right across from BH
5102. The room now has a computer, a printer and internet access.
So if
you’re in need of a nice, quiet place to study or
sit back and relax, or if you can’t find a free
computer at the library, this is for you! The room
key is located in the Psychology Department’s main
office on the fourth floor of Bluemont. Just ask for
it, and you’ve got your own office for the day.
Officers for 2007-2008:
Psi Chi will be looking for members who are
interested in becoming officers for Fall 2007-Spring
2008. For more information, contact Heather
Hilgenkamp.
