About the Psychology Club

About Psychology Club

The Psychology Club was founded in 2003 by a group of students who wished to inform psychology majors, minors, and anyone interested in pursuing a career in psychology about internships, research opportunities, graduate school and other ongoing events related to the field. This club is dedicated to aiding students in taking the fullest advantage of the psychology department at Santa Clara and to ensure they have plenty of opportunities to explore the vast range of topics psychology covers. The Psychology Club meets several times a quarter to meet with the faculty advisors and brainstorm for new ideas. The fee for joining this club is $5, which helps pay for all the psychology panels, meetings, and events like the recent trip to the Macintosh Computer Corporation to study organizational psychology.
