As part of the governance of the Department of Psychology,
a number of important committees include both faculty members and declared
Psychology Majors. These committees play an important role in making recommendations
on matters related to the program of the Department. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED
IN SERVING ON ANY OF THESE COMMITTEES, PLEASE COME BY THE PSYCHOLOGY OFFICE
AND SPEAK TO THE UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS. The following committees welcome
Psychology Majors to serve as voting representatives:
Divisional
Committee on Curriculum: reviews departmentally initiated proposals
or may initiate their own proposals for programs or curriculum changes,
submitting such proposals for consideration to the appropriate Senate Committee
on Course of Study.
Evening
Session Council: recommends improvements in the supporting services
during the evening hours, provides the Administrative Committee of the
College Senate with agenda items of concern to the Evening Session, organizes
its student membership in filling the 12 at-large seats on the Senate for
Evening Session students, and identifies, reviews, and gives focus to matters
of interest to the Evening Session.
Policy

and initiates proposals to the faculty for change if deemed necessary.
Undergraduate
