Psi Chi is known for hosting the Fall Lab Fair, the new Psychology Winter Camp, and R’PSYC Undergraduate Research Conference, which are some of the ways we prepare our members to succeed in research, graduate school, and future careers. If you want to make new friends with similar academic and professional interests, Psi Chi is the right place for you to find a safe and supportive community at UCR! The scholarship of all Psi Chi members is valued. An official membership card and certificate are awarded to each member. Medals, honor cords, and stoles can be purchased to wear at graduation. ____________________________ Dr. Ditta and Dr. Hendley , professors in the area of Psychology, are the faculty advisors.

I want to establish a vibrant and inclusive space at UCR where Punjabi culture is not only celebrated but uplifted through meaningful events, cultural education, and student support. Punjabi students make up a growing part of the UCR community, and it’s important that our heritage, language, and experiences are recognized and shared with the wider campus. My goal is to create a club that brings students together through a variety of events—such as cultural nights, dance performances, holiday celebrations like Vaisakhi, language workshops, guest speaker panels, and social mixers. These events will offer both Punjabi and non-Punjabi students a chance to engage with and learn about Punjabi traditions in a fun, respectful, and educational way. Beyond hosting events, this club will also serve as a platform for Punjabi-identifying students to connect, find community, and express themselves freely. Whether someone is deeply rooted in Punjabi culture or just beginning to explore their identity, I want every member to feel seen, supported, and welcomed.
