Who We Are

Friends of Psychology is an ever-expanding circle of current students, alumni, faculty, and members of the Louisville community who support UofL's Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and believe that psychological science has the power to help people live happier, healthier, wiser, and more productive lives!  You can become a Friend of Psychology simply by getting more involved in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.  For example, you could: Join Psi Chi (the National Honor Society in Psychology), attend a talk in the department, participate in the Friends of Psychology Annual 5K held every spring, or make a financial gift of support to the department.

What We Do

Friends of Psychology do many things to improve teaching, learning, research, and outreach in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.  Two of our major charges are to oversee special funding to support undergraduates majoring in Psychology at UofL (funding made possible by the generous support of Friends of Psychology!) and to oversee charitable giving to the department.  You can find out more about special funding for majors and charitable giving to the department by clicking on the links under Friends of Psychology on the left.
