Please scroll down for the English version
日前，温州肯恩大学Psi Chi国际心理荣誉学会分会正式成立。至此，温肯成为Psi Chi（国际心理荣誉学会）成立93年以来首个也是目前唯一的中国分会，并与哥伦比亚大学、耶鲁大学和纽约大学共同加入 Psi Chi的东部组织区域。
Psi Chi The Honor Society of Psychology（国际心理荣誉学会）是以心理学学术科研为主，促进全球心理学学术交流的组织。该组织成立于1929年，致力于鼓励卓越的学术研究与推动心理学科学的发展，并且到目前为止已有超过四分之三的终身会员加入，包括Drs. Albert Bandura, B. F. Skinner, Phillip Zimbardo等杰出的心理学家。加入Psi Chi能够帮助学生们争取到很多福利，例如，国际认可的学术成就、获得心理学相关的出版物和超过40万美元的年度奖励和资助等等。Psi Chi协会还是大学荣誉社团协会的成员，美国心理学会（APA）和心理科学协会（APS）的附属机构。
2021年，通过学校、心理学课程以及学生等一系列评估后，温州肯恩大学被授予国际心理学荣誉协会 “Psi Chi ”的成员资格，并成功建立学会分会。入选为全国第一个PSI CHI分会，不仅是对于温肯心理学教授与学生学术能力的认可，也是人文学院心理学发展过程中的一个重要里程碑。
手绳授予仪式
入会仪式中，人文学院院长Dr. Denise Horn对分会的成功建立并对第一届荣誉学会成员表示热烈祝贺。另外院长也提到，温州肯恩大学心理学作为一个热门学科，从建立至今的发展迅速，她对于该专业未来的前景表示十分期待。
另外，美国肯恩大学心理学教授Dr. Raquel Stuart也为入会成员带来了最诚挚的问候，并高度认可了温肯心理学取得的成就。作为WKU Psi Chi协会的指导教授，Dr. Adam Privitera讲述了自己对于心理学当下研究热点的展望，同时也表示了对Psi Chi温州肯恩大学分会的未来发展的期许。

据悉，Adam John Privitera博士将与哥伦比亚大学、耶鲁大学和纽约大学以及Psi Chi领导人进行沟通合作，以更好地支持温肯学生发展成为未来的心理科学家。支持内容包括为温肯学子提供机会，与国外的研究人员进行合作项目、参加研究生项目的信息交流会、参与国际会议、以及提交他们的工作至同行评审的期刊发表等。Psi Chi秉持共同承诺并追求卓越，有益于温肯心理学专业学生的未来发展。如果学生有计划在将来去美国攻读研究生，Psi Chi成员资格能够让其与优秀的学者团体产生联系，也能大大成为申请研究生项目的加分项。
WKU Psychology Department Receives International Honor! Awarded as First Psi Chi Chapter in China
A few days ago, an Induction Ceremony was held at Ge Hekai Hall, Wenzhou-Kean University to honor WKU’s official enrollment into the International Honor Society of Psychology (Psi Chi). The ceremony marked the official establishment of the Psi Chi Chapter at WKU and welcomed the first group of Psi Chi members. WKU is the first and only Psi Chi chapter in China, marking a significant moment in the organization’s 93-year history. WKU will be joining Psi Chi’s Eastern Region along with Columbia University, Yale University, and New York University.
Psi Chi, the International Honor Society of Psychology, is an association focusing on academic research and exchanges around the world. Psi Chi was founded in 1929 with a mission to encourage excellence in scholarship and advance the science of psychology. More than three-quarters of a million lifetime members have joined including Distinguished Members such as Drs. Albert Bandura, B. F. Skinner, and Phillip Zimbardo. A few popular Membership Benefits include international recognition for academic excellence, as well as access to psychology-related publications and more than $400,000 in annual awards and grants. Psi Chi is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and is an affiliate of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Association for Psychological Science (APS).
After a comprehensive evaluation of the university, the Psychology Program, and the students, Wenzhou-Kean University has been awarded membership into Psi Chi and successfully established the first chapter in China. WKU’s accreditation from Psi Chi acknowledges the achievements and potential the Psychology students and faculty have demonstrated. This significant milestone in the history of the Psychology Program and of the College of Liberal Arts is a reflection of WKU’s commitment to supporting students in their pursuit of academic excellence.
At the ceremony, Dr. Denise Horn, the Dean of CLA at WKU, expressed her sincere congratulations to the new members of the Psi Chi chapter and showed great anticipation for the future prospects of the program. Dr. Raquel Stuart also sent her greetings and congratulations from Kean USA. Dr. Privitera talked about the current trends in psychological research, and how he hoped to witness the promising future of Psi Chi at WKU.
Psi Chi Faculty Advisor, Dr. Adam John Privitera, will be coordinating with Psi Chi leaders at these and other universities in order to support WKU students in their development into psychological scientists. Part of this work will involve identifying opportunities for WKU students to pursue collaborative projects with researchers abroad, participate in graduate program informational sessions, present at international conferences, and submit their work for publication in peer-reviewed journals. For students interested in pursuing graduate programs in the USA, Psi Chi membership connects you to a distinguished community of scholars who share a common commitment to excellence. Graduate programs look favorably on Psi Chi membership when reviewing student applications for admission. This honor has the potential to be a game-changer for WKU psychology majors and future MA students!
