Our members were able to attend two Psi Chi collaborations last months to talk about human factors as well as our student chapter and how to get involved. This was a great opportunity to bring awareness about our field and answer any questions that students had. We are hoping that this will attract more members to the chapter, our labs, and the field as a whole. 

In addition, Psi Chi hosted a Research Lab Night on November 30th, in which 9 research labs in the Psychology department were briefly introduced. Students then had the opportunity to ask questions about the labs, potential undergraduate research positions, and graduate school in general. 

Thank you to all of the organizers and students who came out to participate!
