PSYCHOLOGY CLUB MEETS

Psi Mu Sigma, CHS’s psychology club, held its first meeting of the school year this week. Psi Mu Sigma, which is open only to present and former psychology students, began planning elections of club officers and scheduling events for the year ahead.

One of the interesting activities the club did last year involved raising awareness of neuroscience by making “brain hats,” which club members wore during lunch as they handed out information about brain health, concussions and other facts about how our brains function.

Also, club members watched and discussed several psychology-based videos — such as “Happy,” “Temple Grandin” and “The Three Faces of Eve” — and researched areas of interest. Always welcoming new members, Psi Mu Sigma meets Wednesdays during lunch in Mr. Steinle’s classroom, Room 250.
