Any college offering a course in psychology promises to equip students with an in-depth knowledge of various aspects; of the mind, of individuals. Those who happen to chance by the word 'mind' or rather' psychology' wonders at its complexity. What is it? Does it really help one understand who he is? or how others are different from the way they seem to be?
With hopes of having these and many other questions answered, we can turn towards the psychology department of our college.Now.how different could it be, you may ask, from the psychology departments of any other college. Course material-wise we are all alike(especially those under Bangalore University)But there's more to college life than studies alone and that is what our psychology teachers;The Head of the Department, Mrs Molly Joy,,Dr.Reena Jain and Ms. Nandini P, .remind us everyday. Classes are never a dull affair, and I must say, the questions they pose are more intricately twisted than we could ever have imagined. Each hour with every one of our teachers, is a seed sown and watered, to be harvested slowly, through the phases of life to follow; even after we move away, from the circle of their guidance and support, from the company of friends and mentors such as they.
The psychology club deserves special mention. It strives to create awareness among students about the various fields of psychology; to create a forum for those interested to learn more about psychology and its interdisciplinary subjects, and to facilitate involvement in psychological issues such as community service, presentations etc. All students of psychology, automatically members of this unique club have enjoyed special visits organised to home of the aged, sick and mentally retarded. The activities forwarded by the club serve as challenges to our intuitive capabilities, enriching our personalities and chiseling off rough edges through repeated interactions.
