PACO (formerly known as PSO) - official name change pending

Psychology and CHAD Organization (PACO)

  • What Is PACO?
    PACO stands for PPsychology and CHAD Organization. Like Psi Chi, its purpose is to encourage, stimulate, and maintain excellence in advancing in the psychological sciences. Many use PACO as a stepping stone for Psi Chi. It gives individuals the chance to meet other people who are interested in being involved on campus as well as current Psi Chi and PACO members. PACO also gives students an opportunity to participate in Psychology related services on campus and in our community.

    PACO is involved with various activities throughout the year. We work in conjunction with Psi Chi on such events as the Psychology Student Research Fair, grad panels for undergrads which allows undergrads to ask questions that are needed to know before entering a grad program and guest speakers in the different fields of psychology to educate undergrads of all the various psychology careers. PACO values time away from classes and studying. As a way to relax PACO frequently sponsors fun social events such as bowling, pizza and movie nights.
  • What Are PACO Qualifications?

    The only qualification is that you are currently enrolled at CSUSM and you have an interest in psychology!  PACO is open to all majors and there is no GPA requirement! The club member fee to join PACO is $10. The fees are subject to change. View PACO application.
