Psi Chi Honor Society Walks for Autism Research

The Psychology Department Psi Chi Honor Society is partnering with Autism Speaks to sponsor the third annual campus walk to raise money for autism research. On Saturday, April 19, the Honor Society invites all to join in a morning walk sponsored by Walk Now for Autism to raise awareness and possibly make a donation.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. on the main quad. The walk begins at 10:30 a.m. Last year, the group was able to raise over $70,000. They hope to match or even exceed the same amount this year. For those wishing to volunteer, a meeting will be held on Friday, April 18, at 5 p.m. in Stevenson 2001. To donate money to this cause or form a team, visit www.walknowforautism.org/sonoma/. For additional information or to talk about volunteer opportunities, contact Sonoma@autismspeaks.org.
