Amanda Frank, of Acton, Inducted into Psi Chi National Honor Society

2017 May 3

The Assumption College Department of Psychology has announced that Amanda Frank, of Acton, has become a member of the Psychology National Honor Society, Psi Chi. Frank, Class of 2018, was inducted into the honor society earlier this academic year.

"We are excited to welcome the new members to Assumption's chapter of Psi Chi," said Maria Parmley, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology and one of the honor society's advisors. "It is with great pride that we recognize this group of students for their hard work, discipline, and love for this field of psychology."

Psi Chi was founded in 1929 for the purposes of encouraging, stimulating, and maintaining excellence in scholarship, and advancing the science of psychology. Membership is open to graduate and undergraduates, of junior or senior academic standing, who have chosen psychology as their major or minor. Inductees must also have completed nine semester hours of psychology courses, rank in the top 35 percent of their class, and have a minimum grade point average of 3.25, in both psychology classes and in overall cumulative grades. Psi Chi members are invited to submit scholarly articles to the Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research, apply for research grants, and attend and present at regional and national conferences.
