The St. Olaf Psychology Club is comprised of members who are interested in learning more about the field of Psychology, as well as what one can do with a psychology major. The officers of Psych Club host speakers (many of whom are alumni), who were psychology majors at Olaf and have continued on to various fields of study and careers. Psychology Club also sponsors or co-sponsors other educational events that pertain to the field. While many members of Psych Club are psychology majors, we also welcome non-majors who have interests in learning more about the field and the variety of careers that are available through Psychology. Please go to this Sign-Up Sheet to have your name added to an alias to get information about our events.
