Introduction to Psi Chi
Welcome to the Web page for the Walden University chapter of the Psi Chi National Honor Society for Psychology. Our unique chapter membership consists of national and international students completing their graduate education through distance learning. This results in a membership rich in resources, knowledge, and experience, consisting of dedicated members who make significant contributions to their communities, the profession, and to scholarly pursuits.

The officers serve the Walden membership and respond to inquiries from prospective members. We are committed to positively contributing to the educational experience, the psychology profession, and to our communities. Please share your ideas and insights on how to make this a dynamic organization.
