ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS

Franklin College

Franklin College’s chapter of the international honor society of psychology, Psi Chi, inducted five new members March 15, including Erin Moll, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Moll, Batesville.

Psi Chi, founded in 1927, is an international society that recognizes academic achievement and promotes creative development for students studying psychology.

Franklin College established its Psi Chi chapter in 2010.

The chapter helps provide funding for students to attend the annual Midwestern Psychology Association Conference held in Chicago. The group also participates in at least one community service project each year.

Inducted students become lifelong members. Eligible students must have declared a major or minor in psychology, be a second semester sophomore, have completed nine credit hours in psychology courses, have a 3.0 grade-point average and be in the top 35 percent of the class.
