2009 Executive Board

"Joining the Psychological Society at UCF is a great way to get involved! It allows oppurtunities for students to expand their knowledge of the psychology field while meeting different professionals who can give insight to undergraduates about graduate school and oppurtunites after graduation. Students can get access to volunteer activites, research positions, social events and so much more by being a part of Psych Society and meeting new people!"
