Psi Beta Ruth Hubbard Cousins Building Bonds Collaboration Award: Deadline is JUNE, 1, 2008Psi Beta, National Honor Society in Psychology for Community & Junior Colleges, has introduced a new award to recognize a successful collaboration between a Psi Beta chapter and a Psi Chi chapter. The collaborative efforts may focus on scholarship, leadership, research, and/or community service. Psi Beta will award two plaques to the winning partnership—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.
GRADUATION REGALIA ORDERSGraduation is just around the corner for many Psi Chi seniors. Please remember that orders can take up to 15 business days to be received by the chapter.
