PSYCHOLOGY
STUDENT ASSOCIATION

I joined PSA in my first year because I needed guidance on navigating the pre-med requirements as a psychology major. There are many people in PSA pursuing different fields of psychology, so I was able to get the help I needed as a lost first year. When I became the Webmaster intern my first year, I became really close with my mentor, Boris, and formed a close-knit group of friends. This pushed me to be further involved in PSA, so I became the Social Chair in my 2nd year, the Intern Liaison in my 3rd year, and now President! I've grown so much as a student and person through PSA, and I hope to provide the same motivating environment for other UCI students!

I was searching for a community of students also interested in psychology to make friends as a freshman! I wanted to learn more about what my major had to offer and PSA connected me with tons of resources that helped me discover what career path I wanted to take after graduating from UCI. I think other students would gain the same benefits I did throughout my four years, and if you're lost on what to do with your major or just want to make amazing friends, you should join as a member!

I joined PSA for the welcoming and supportive community, and I am happy to say I found it. PSA is a great place to explore your interests, meet other like-minded students, and just have fun!

I joined PSA in order to find a community at UCI with people who are passionate about psychology like I am! I was also interested by the events and opportunities I could be exposed to through this club as a way to learn more about what I can do with my degree in the future.

I joined PSA to find more people with my same interests and found an amazing community! I love how we're a good mix of social and academic + all of the lovely people I've met through this club. I highly recommend joining PSA if you are looking to meet more of your peers and find friends in your classes! And as Intern Liaison, I also recommend joining the intern program hehe :)

What drew me to PSA was the chance to learn about opportunities that come with being a Psychology major, but what kept me an active member was the people around me. Not only have I found immensely rewarding research and job opportunities through this organization, but I’ve formed connections with individuals whom I consider lifelong friends. I admire the PSA’s sense of community that is consistently filled with support, laughter, and passion. These connections alone are why I encourage others to join our organization.

What I love most about PSA is how it combines fun, inclusive social events with professional development opportunities like our general meetings and the annual Career Networking Fair. Whether you're looking for community, academic enrichment, or career guidance, PSA has something for you. Come check us out!

When I first came to UCI, I wanted to join PSA to make friends, build connections, and grow as a psychology major. Looking back, I’m so grateful I did, I’ve made amazing memories, gained lifelong friends, and developed leadership skills that will stick with me far beyond college. PSA has also given me opportunities to learn more about the field of psychology and network with inspiring professionals. If you’re looking for community, growth, and support in your journey, PSA is the perfect place to be!

When I first joined PSA, my main goal was to gain more helpful resources that could benefit me in navigating UCI as a psychology major. However, once I joined and stayed for the events, I was pleasantly surprised by its amazing community. I was able to form many close friendships with other like-minded people who have similar interests and career aspirations. I believe that everyone, regardless of their major, should consider joining for the invaluable academic resources, professional insights, and meaningful connections you can make!

I joined PSA freshman year as an intern, and it has been an incredible experience. PSA has given me countless opportunities to learn and grow. I first discovered my interest in marketing through my role as a digital marketing intern, and my passion has only grown since then. I’ve also loved seeing the diversity of Psychology through my interactions with other members, which motivates me to explore new opportunities. Joining PSA is a fantastic way to explore your interests and connect with a supportive community!

I joined PSA to find a community within others in Psychology and I was able to find so many friends! Also because Psychology is such a broad field, I wanted to get a better idea of what I wanted to do with my degree. If you have similar questions I believe that PSA is a great place to discover similar like-minded friends and future psych career paths.

I personally joined PSA because I wanted to be more involved with psychology and meet like-minded individuals who help me strive towards being a better student. Coming into UCI, I didn’t meet a lot of psychology majors, but PSA has brought me to a great group of students who are driven and hardworking but also know how to have a good time. Last year, I was scared to branch out, but I'm so glad I did and ended up here! Super excited to meet all the new people as well!
