Psi Chi UCA Receives Model Chapter Award Ten Years Running

The University of Central Arkansas Psi Chi chapter recently received the Model Chapter Award for the 10th consecutive year.

The Model Chapter Award is one of Psi Chi’s methods to encourage chapters to have a successful academic year. To receive this award, all that is required is for a chapter to (a) complete 13 basic steps throughout the year and then (b) apply for the award before the spring deadline.

All qualifying chapters automatically receive $100 and a custom certificate to reward the chapter and inspire membership for years to come. The UCA chapter was one of 42 chapters that achieved Model Chapter status this year.

Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology, recently highlighted the UCA chapter’s 10th consecutive Model Chapter Award on the Society’s blog.

Congratulations!
