There is a surplus of opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students

• • Grants

    • •  Psi Chi offers grant opportunities for students and faculty. For example, perhaps you need money for travel for presenting a poster at a scientific meeting. Money is available at both the local as well as national level.

  • Publication

    • • Psi Chi lists journals specifically for publishing undergraduate research, providing an opportunity where you wouldn’t be competing with more senior investigators in the field.

  • Presentations

    • • Our chapter also has listings of meetings at which you can present your research.

      • Find out available research positions in the Department of Psychology

  • Expand your network

    • • Become friends with students and professors with similar interests.

      • Get to know faculty and staff in the psychology and neuroscience departments.

Psi Chi is a student led organization comprised of eight Executive Positions.  We typically like to bring in researchers from the SLU community in order to connect students more closely with the psychological environment and advancements around them. However, on occasion, we bring in outside researchers, one major instance being the Psi Chi Research Symposium, towards the end of each spring semester.
