Throughout the academic year, these Psi Beta inductees actively contributed to the Seminole State College community through various initiatives. They organized stress-relief packets distributed during the Stress Management Seminar, sponsored a table at the SSC Trick-or-Treat trail and participated in the Careers in Psychology panel at East Central University to explore diverse career opportunities in psychology.

Professor Christal Knowles, the faculty sponsor of Psi Beta at SSC, commended this year’s inductees. “This year’s inductees into the Psi Beta Honor Society have showcased their dedication and perseverance through their outstanding performance in academic pursuits. I am exceedingly proud of their academic achievements thus far and eagerly anticipate their future endeavors, which I am confident will continue to be remarkable,” Knowles said.

To qualify for membership, students must maintain a minimum overall grade-point-average of 3.25 with at least a “B” or better in an introductory psychology class, demonstrating a genuine interest in psychology.
