Undergraduate Psychology Association
The Undergraduate Psychology Association (UPA) is a group of students who share a passion for exploring psychology. UPA welcomes students of all majors to participate in academic, career-oriented, and social events during the school year. Our primary goal is to help students learn more about psychology in a non-classroom setting, foster student-faculty connections, and facilitate the awareness of professional opportunities. Whether you’re a newly declared psych major looking to get involved in a lab, or an upperclassman seeking advice on how to refine your graduate school application, UPA is here to provide support and community-building throughout your undergrad journey!
