Co-presidents of Psi Chi
Psi Chi is the National Honor Society in Psychology. The Society
was founded in 1929 for the purpose of promoting excellence in
scholarship and advancing the science of psychology. Membership in
a chapter of Psi Chi provides national recognition for academic
excellence in psychology, an honor that can be noted on employment
applications, vitae, and resumes. Members of Psi Chi can compete
for 95 annual research awards and grants and are eligible to wear
honor cords at graduation.
The Butler University's chapter of Psi Chi was installed on
April 23, 1997. Membership is open to juniors and seniors who meet
academic requirements. The Psi Chi chapter at Butler sponsors
several activities each year. In the past few years, the Psi Chi
chapter has sponsored various academic programs and speakers, Psych
Connection (a mentoring program), and the annual end-of-year
psychology gathering.
The Butler Chapter of Psi Chi received the Model Chapter Award
from the National Psi Chi office in 2001, 2005, and 2006. In
addition, several members of our chapter have won awards. Megan
Julian '06 won an NSF/REU grant for 2005-06; Megan Mull '07 won an
undergraduate research grant for 2006-07; and Dr. Morris won a
faculty adviser research grant for 2006-07.
