91制片厂 Tales: What made you want to be president and take such a strong role with听this organization?

Shah: I think I saw the potential in psych club and the major, and I knew we could make so much more out of it. Psychology club was not very popular听before the e-board of 2016-2017 took over, and we spent at least 40 hours during summer to completely revamp听the club and develop听steady marketing tools and meetings. We had an incredibly successful year; our first meeting had more than 80 people in attendance. We didn't have chairs for that many people! After a year of trials and triumphs, I have grown so close to psych club. It's like my child now. So, I knew I wanted another year as the president so I could continue being involved in this amazing organization and grow with it.

This semester we have started something new called 鈥淗elp A Friend.鈥澨齀n this series we go through various scenarios that are common on college campuses (eating disorders, biases, relationships) and we navigate how to help a friend who is dealing with them. We also have voluntary projects to get our members involved in the community and give back to our university. It is also for students who want to display their dexterity by competing in events听like Psych Cup, hosted by the New Hampshire Psychological Association. In addition to all of this, we frequently have professors come in to talk about their career paths and the research that they are conducting so students can inspired. Finally, we have a graduate student and career panel every semester, because we identified that many students were confused about how could they use their psychology degree.
