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, Inter club 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.
