Psi Chi: IMPORTANT information inside!

Hi Psi Chi,

Feels like I haven’t written in a while, don’t you think? Don’t worry, I’ll be back to sending you guys (way too many? … no, never) emails very shortly :)

- - -

Just a few important updates and housekeeping things to go over:

Psi Chi GroupMe

Firstly, I wanted to remind you that we made a group chat for Psi Chi members on GroupMe! We’ll use it to get to know each other, to give advice about classes and grad school, and to ask for your opinions on Psi Chi matters. Much of the information in this email was sent to the GroupMe already - so if you’d like to be among the first to receive updates and provide your input about the rest of the semester, joining the GroupMe is the way to do it. 

If you haven’t joined yet, you can do so HERE! 

If you’re already in the GroupMe, you can ignore everything I just said (you don’t already do that, right?)

GBM #4 is RESCHEDULED

As many are already aware, Fridays at 3:00pm haven’t been an ideal time for our GBM meetings. Many members are not attending, and many have made it known that this time will never work for them due to scheduling conflicts. We’ve heard you, and we understand!

That said, when we sent out a When2Meet availability survey a few weeks ago, many members did not respond but the majority of those who did indicated that they WERE available to meet on Fridays at 3:00pm. Additionally, this was one of the few time-slots that all of our officers were available as well. Finding a time that will accommodate absolutely everyone is difficult, especially with the change in UMBC’s free hour and the fact that many clubs may meet must navigate the same issue as well. 

All things considered, we’ve decided to postpone this Friday’s GBM until next Wednesday, October 27th at 5:30pm. We’ll be giving this new date and time a trial run to see if it is an improvement from our Friday meetings. We will, as always, keep you updated about any future schedule changes, alternative meetings, and event times (which are in the works, I promise you!). We hope that this change will improve attendance and accommodate more individuals who haven’t yet made it to a GBM. Thank you for your understanding!

PSYC Course Recommendations

Lastly, we’ve conjured up a spreadsheet for you guys that holds a list of the best UMBC PSYC courses to take, and which professors to take them with. We hope that this document will help those who still need credits to find engaging teachers, interesting courses, easy A’s - whatever you may be looking for! We’ve started it off, but the sheet will be collaborative so that those with suggestions can add them as well.

You can find the spreadsheet HERE - feel free to take a look!

Quite a long email today, so thank you for your time! As always, feel free to reach out by email or in the GroupMe with any questions. If you continued reading this far, you deserve a prize or something. <3

Thanks a ton!
