The World Campus Psychology Club (WCPC) is dedicated to supporting Penn State World Campus undergraduate psychology students. The mission of the club includes building community and identity by encouraging members to share ideas and experiences with one another. In addition, WCPC fosters the development of interests in the various professional fields of psychology. This is accomplished by sponsoring faculty and guest presentations, as well as facilitating peer discussions on current research and by sharing current topics from professional organizations.

Since its inaugural semester in the fall of 2009, the WCPC has made exceptional strides. In fact, it is the first fully online student organization focusing on psychology in the world! The WCPC has even received national recognition from sources such as USA Today and NPR Radio!

If you are a current World Campus student who has an interest in psychology, or if you are an incoming World Campus student with the interest in psychology, you can join our group by completing the new member form.

If you have any further questions about the club or about how to join, please feel free to contact a club officer. Additionally, you may contact the club advisor, Dr. Judi Withrow at jaj28@psu.edu.
