The mentoring service is offered in the basement of the Cornett building in Room A050. The mentoring hours every week are between 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm, Monday to Thursday. Feel free to come by and chat and also learn about how to get involved in Psi Chi and Psych OS.

Psychology Orientation Event
The Psi Chi officers would like to thank the 75 students who came out on September 15th, 2009 and made our orientation event such a success! Senior students and psi chi officers offered an orientation to all who attended in the hopes that they could be more informed about the Psychology department and so that they could get involved in the departmental activities.
