Psychology Club

The Marietta College Psychology Club meets monthly during the academic year and includes elected officer positions. The Psychology Club attends conferences each year, plans service activities, holds a psychology-themed movie night, and takes trips to places like the Moundsville Haunted Penitentiary and the Center for History of Psychology in Akron, OH, among other activities. Psychology Club also invites speakers and discusses important information about graduate schools and careers in psychology.

There are no admission criteria for the Psychology Club…anyone can join! Participating in Psychology Club activities and becoming an officer are great ways to get to know your fellow students and faculty in the department.

If you’re interested in joining the Psychology Club or participating in any of our activities, please contact the faculty sponsor, Dr. Mary Barnas.
