Membership

General Membership

Our general membership program provides an opportunity for students to be a part of Nu Rho Psi before you meet national membership requirements. General members have access to many of our events and resources, but our full members are given priority for our more exclusive events such as faculty luncheons. Events open to all members include journal clubs from spotlight faculty, faculty presentations, mentorship from older undergraduate students, and much more.

If you’re interested in joining Nu Rho Psi, contact nurhopsi@uci.edu to set up a brief appointment to discuss how you can get involved.
