Weekly Seminars______________________

Nu Rho Psi members meet once a week, where one member will give a presentation based on his or her research project, followed by questions and discussion among society members. These seminars enhance presentation skills, encourage critical thinking, and serve as a way to exchange and update scientific information between members. For a schedule of presentations, visit our news and updates section.

Undergraduate Research Symposium ___________

This program, open to all undergraduates conducting independent projects, allows students who participate in all areas of research, including the humanities and social sciences, the opportunity to share and be recognized for their work. The symposium pioneers a step to motivate the entire undergraduate population toward independent thought and original research and promote interaction between the academic departments at the student level. Fore more information visit the symposium website.

Brain Awareness Week __________________________

Brain Awareness Week is an educational outreach initiative that started in 1996 to increase the public's awareness of the importance of brain and nervous system research. NuRhoPsi hosts Brain Awareness Week at Hopkins. Activities vary from year to year. This year the week's events will include socials, educational talks, community outreach programs, demonstrations, panel discussions and much more. For more information, visit our BAW website.

Mentorship Program ____________________________

Underclassmen (freshmen and sophomores) majoring in neuroscience usually have many questions and concerns when it comes to choose a concentration or to find a good research topic among the neuroscience labs. The mentor/mentee program was created to help them. Every year, students who wish to participate in the program will sign up in their neuroscience classes. They will be assigned to a NuRhoPsi member, who will do his/her best to answer their questions, help them to locate a satisfying research position, and provide career outlook.

Undergraduate Poster Contest ___________________

Every spring, Nu Rho Psi holds a campus-wide undergraduate poster contest in the Glass Pavilion. Anyone who has done research and wish to present his/her project to the Hopkins undergraduate community can enter. The posters will be judged by professors from the Hopkins biology, chemistry, neuroscience and psychology departments. It’s fun, exciting, and provide great interaction between students and professors.

Social Activities _______________________

Every year, Nu Rho Psi members go on a leadership retreat and take part in fun social activities. Activities include white water rafting rock climbing, hiking, camping, rope challenge courses and paintball matches. In addition to the retreat, at least twice a semester social activities are organized for NRP members to communicate outside of the academic setting. Activities range from going out to dinner together to extreme bowling matches.
