The award is given for a collaborative project that has a significant impact at the local, state, regional, or national level. The collaborative efforts may focus on scholarship, leadership, research, and/or community service. Two plaques will be given, one to the Psi Beta chapter and one to the Psi Chi chapter. This is an opportunity to form a partnership with a chapter from our sister honor society. For more information about the award, see the Psi Beta website:
