Career Preparation
Cap off your studies by developing a personal vocational mission statement, presenting a plan for career development and connecting it to your values and ethics as informed by the Christian faith.
Honor Society
Join Psi Chi, the psychology honor society to take part in events and networking with peers, faculty, and guest speakers.
