STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
PDSA
The Psychology
Department Student Association (PDSA) was founded in the fall of 1973.
The parent association is the Departmental Association
Council which administers funds and makes decisions
regarding just how the money funded can be spent.
Every psychology major is automatically an inactive member
of the PDSA. PDSA meetings are held bimonthly and
the organization sponsors speakers and other discussions
of interest to students, such as an annual panel
discussion on how to get into graduate school. These
meetings are to keep you informed of what is going
on in the Psychology Department and to allow you
to express your opinions on various issues. Besides
sponsoring speakers and panel discussions, PDSA raises
funds for various projects, such as sending students
to the Western Psychological Association meetings.
Elections for PDSA officers are held annually.
The Executive Board consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Public Relations, Historian, Interclub Council (ICC) Representative, and ICC Alternative.
Students are always encouraged to chair, and to
participate on committees that are established
by the PDSA. Visit the PDSA home
page for more information.
