Psychology club has made a major come back this school year with many changes adding excitement to the club and its returning and new members.
Psych club co-presidents Anna Gwozdz and Shaylene McCue spent all summer discussing and brainstorming ideas.
Gwozdz said, “This year we are focusing on making an impact on ACHS. In the previous years, we did not do too many things in the school for people to really know who we were and this year our main goal is to not only educate our fellow members in the club, but also the student body with various activities and maybe a fair.”
Tony Borchert, club adviser agreed to all the ideas the girls had in mind, and before everybody knew it, psychology club launched its first meeting in early September.
“My expectations are set quite high this year. We are just excited to change a club that Shay and I care quite a lot about it into something the school can benefit from. Not to be like some clubs that just meet once a month, in Mr. Borchert’s room and watches movies all the time, which we will still do don’t worry, but for our message and purpose to move past the classroom and be applied to everyday life.” said Gwozdz.
Borchert sees promise in this year’s group in creating a positive environment for learning, discussing and experiencing psychology first hand.
“As of this year, the club is student directed. The co-presidents are taking the club to a different level. We will have a different theme per meet and we will meet twice a month. We will also be doing more activities related to Psychology. The club members will hopefully have a deeper understanding of psych principles to discuss in detail rather than a classroom,” Borchert said.
