Hello & Welcome

Hello and welcome to the UM-Flint Psi Chi Blog. The purpose of this blog is to provide useful information and updates on the activities of Psi Chi in order to keep all psychology students at UM-Flint informed and promote involvement, not only in Psi Chi, but also in the department, university activities, and the local community. Please take a look around and visit often for updates. Comments and ideas are extremely welcome, and it is hoped that this blog will eventually include guest bloggers and submissions from students.  

Psi Chi Blogger:
Right now the Psi Chi blogger is Psi Chi Secretary, Jackie.

I am in my last year at UM-Flint and a psychology and English major. I am interested in becoming a mental health counselor and eventually a professor (hopefully) because I love being on a college campus. I have wanted to start a Psi Chi blog since the beginning of the academic year but of course finding time to write something other than for school is sometimes difficult. I feel a blog, especially with contributions from many people, will be a good way to keep people informed about what is going on in Psi Chi and also about the requirements for a psychology degree at UM-Flint and challenges we all face during our time here and after graduation. Some of my ideas for this blog are:
Post information on what is going on with Psi Chi and in the psychology department.

To interview all psychology professors and teachers to learn about their grad school experiences and specialty.

To interview students about psychology classes, projects, papers, internships, and volunteer experiences.

To interview alumni about their experiences getting into grad school or getting a job after graduation.

Please contact me, jshaymcg@umflint.edu,  if you have any ideas or something you would like to contribute to the blog.
