2004-2005 PROJECTS:
SERVICE PROJECTS:
Crawford
County Mental Health Awareness Program (CHAPS) is a non-profit mental health
consumer organization that strives to support the consumers of mental health
services, to encourage and enhance the formation of a consumer self help
and support network in Crawford County, and to engage in activities that
better the lives of persons with mental illness. CHAPS is dedicated
to 'recovery' from mental illness. Our local Psi Chi chapter feels
that through our involvement we can help those people attempting to recover
from the catastrophe of mental illness feel more at home in our community
and find ways to leave more fulfilling and satisfying lives through the
friendships that are made during our activities. We as a group would
like to thank CHAPS for the wonderful job that they do in providing a unique
balance of mental health consumers, professionals, and community members
working together for the betterment of the lives of the mentally ill.

Get ready for the 2004 Halloween pumpkin carving at CHAPS! Every year, Psi Chi members and interested students carve pumpkins and bake pumpkin seeds with the friendly folks at CHAPS! Don't miss your chance to go this year! The date will be posted soon, so keep checking!nbsp; Check out some pictures.
-
We are also interested in having Psi Chi members, along with the Psych Club, volunteer down at the ARC (222 Chesnut Street). They have a number of great programs already up and running and could always use some extra help. If you are interested in volunteering at either CHAPS or the ARC or just want more information, please e-mail katoral@allegheny.edu.

2004-2005 ACTIVITIES:.
-
Psi Chi and Psych Club will be starting a psychology based movie series this semester and it'll last throughout the year. If you are interested in being on this committee or would like to help make the movie selection for the year please email the psichi account.
-
This semester's Psych Picnic will be held THIS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th from 6:00-8:00pm at the Cross Farm. It is always a great time, with awesome food, and good conversation- so make sure you're there! If you need a ride, volunteer drivers will be in the Carnegie parking lot at 5:30pm. Please spread the word to your friends!!
-
Psi Chi will be hosting speaker, Debra Fink, from Case Western's Graduate School of Social Sciences at the end of September. She will be talking about careers in social work as well as why students might be attracted to careers serving disadvantaged populations. We are still confirming the date, so keep checking back, and also look around Carnegie hall for flyers annoucning her talk. If you have any questions for Debra, please email the psichi account.

-
Fall inductions will be again held in Ford Chapel during the month of October. We will hold inductions and then have a dessert reception afterwards. We encourage all Psi Chi members to come and support the new inductees. If anyone is interested in baking cookies, bringing drinks, or helping to set up and tear down, please let us know via the psichi account. We appreciate all the help we can get!

-
Keep your eyes peeled for information circulating Carnegie hall about information for the GRES. We are trying to put together a mock GRE test because this can greatly help all of the seniors, and even juniors, thinking about taking the Graduate Record Exams. If you have any suggestions about holding the mock GRE please email the psichi account.
We also have the goal of putting together a Psi Chi newsletter each semester. This will be a great way of letting the psych faculty and fellow students know what Psi Chi has been doing all semester. If you are computer savvy and would enjoy working on the newletter(s) please email the psichi account.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
-
We have two new psychology professors this year, Carla Bluhm and Todd Manson. Please take the time to stop by, introduce yourself, and make them feel welcome. It's great to have new faculty dedicated to Allegeny's psychology program, and we are glad to welcome you aboard!

-
Mark these dates on your calendar! Psi Chi will generally meet on the first Wednesday of every month. However, there are some exceptions, and this list is subject to change. The dates are: October 6, November 3, December 1, January 19, February 2, March 2, and April 6. We are hoping that these meetings will just serve as an update as to what the committees have accomplished. For the committee(s) you signed up for, please make sure that at least one of you is prepared to fill the rest of the group in on what you've been doing since our last full Psi Chi meeting.
