Academic
Nu Rho Psi is the only nationally-recognized honor society in the area of brain research. The study of the brain is one of the noblest of academic pursuits because a deep and true understanding of the principles by which the brain works contributes directly to the quality of our lives and the well-being of future generations.
The purpose of Nu Rho Psi is to:
encourage professional interest and excellence in scholarship, particularly in neuroscience;
award recognition to students who have achieved such excellence in scholarship;
advance the discipline of neuroscience; encourage intellectual and social interaction between students, faculty, and professionals in neuroscience and related fields;
promote career development in neuroscience and related fields;
increase public awareness of neuroscience and its benefits for the individual and society; and
encourage service to the community.
Meaning of the Nu Rho Psi symbols:
Membership The Greek letters of our honor society, “ΝΡΨ”, designate the study of neuroscience – the interdisciplinary science that engages our members in the study of the Nervous System and is the unifying focus of this honor society. The Greek letter Nu (Ν, ν) stands for the noun Nous (pronounced “noose”), meaning “Mind”. The letter Rho (Ρ, ρ) stands for the verb Ρueaoai (pronounced “hruesthigh”) meaning, “to cure”. The letter Psi (Ψ, ψ) stands for the noun Psyche (pronounced “psuke”), meaning “life”.
