Psych Club


Thursday April 8th was the last SMU Psych Club meeting of the 2009-2010 school year. It was held in the World Room (Hendrickson 120) at 3:30pm. Pizza and pop were provided for all who attended. The meeting started out as an open discussion of what members would like to see happen with Psych Club next year, including ideas about future events, any changes that are needed, etc. The main focus of the meeting was centered on electing next year's Psych Club Officers. Nominations were made and the votes were tallied. Congratulations to the new officers of SMU Psych Club 2010-2011: the president Steve Lochen, the vise president KC Gammage, the secretary Casey Twardowski, and the treasurer Kristina Empanger (pictured above). Thank you everyone who participated in Psych Club this past year, and we hope to see you there next year as well!
