Our club at UCI is a chapter of Nu Rho Psi, the National Honor Society for Neuroscience. This organization was founded in 2006 and has two primary goals:
- The Society’s first purpose is to encourage professional interest and excellence in scholarship, particularly in neuroscience. This aim involves awarding recognition to students who achieve such excellence, advancing the discipline of neuroscience through dedication to research, and promoting career development in neuroscience via interaction between students, faculty, and professionals in the field.
- The Society’s second goal is to encourage community service, primarily in a manner that increases public awareness of neuroscience and its benefits for individuals and society as a whole.
