Neuroscience & Psychology student organization with chapters across USA universities. We empower and enrich minds through mental health education.

Currently 100 members plus and counting, we are also the first neuroscience and psychology student organization at Fisk University in its 156-year history.

We aim to educate, empower, inspire, and enrich the minds of the members of the Fisk University community using knowledge on the human brain. To do this, we will expose our members to neuroscience and psychology concepts and opportunities, as well as current advancements in both fields.

We want to learn collectively about how the mind-brain connection affects our daily living.

Motto of our organization: Vita le mentis (Latin meaning “the life of the mind”)
