                Welcome               

The West Virginia University Psychology Club is a student led organization that is open to any student who has an interest in psychology. Additionally, Holding Every Life Precious (H.E.L.P.) became a part of the organization as a Suicide Prevention Program. The goal of the program is to help prevent suicide, spread awareness, and promote healthy living. We hope that by incorporating H.E.L.P. into Psychology Club, students will be able to find something that fits their interests.

The organization gives students many opportunities to become active on and off campus. To join, please complete an application and submit $5 for the academic year. Applications can be found outside of our office (room 2236)  or on our bulletin board at the top of the 2nd floor stairs (near the elevator). The application and money can be turned in at meetings, during office hours to room 2236, or to the Psi Chi mailbox in the main office of the LSB (room 1126).

Being a member of Psychology Club/ H.E.L.P. has many advantages. The organization sponsors speakers and other activities to advance the professional development of its members. Opportunities are provided for for students to interact with faculty and other professional psychologists outside of the classroom through various social activities. We also organize social events, educational workshops, and service activities!

Psi Chi is the National Honor Society in Psychology  founded in 1929 for the purposes of encouraging, stimulating, and maintaining excellence in scholarship, along with advancing the science of psychology. Psi Chi at West Virginia University was chartered in 1948 as the 60^th chapter. Students who meet the class standing and GPA requirements are encouraged to apply for membership. There is a formal initiation ceremony annually. Benefits of membership include recognition of academic standing in psychology, professional affiliation, and a quarterly newsletter. Psi Chi works closely with the Psychology Club & H.E.L.P. to foster a scholarly approach to education at West Virginia University.
