Welcome!
Psi Chi is looking for new board members who are excited to grow the club and develop their own professional experience. Psi Chi is the National Honor Society for Psychology students. Joining Psi Chi's board is a great way to meet other students, work with the psychology and child development department, and our community members.
Please review the open positions below and apply through our link. You DO NOT need to be a member to fill out this form, however, you should initiate the process this quarter in order for you to be considered an official member by the start of next school year.
It is important to note that we will begin training THIS QUARTER. This will include attending board meetings towards the end of the quarter, hopefully beginning in late April. We have made a lot of progress this year as a club and have increased student awareness of Psi Chi through staying active. Our hope is that the new board members we train this spring will continue to build on the progress we have made. We are looking for dedicated and passionate students who are eager to develop the Psi Chi legacy at Cal Poly. Beginning this summer, you will take over officer duties in the description below. Thank you so much for applying for Psi Chi's 2022-2023 board!
Sincerely,
Cal Poly Psi Chi's Board Members
