Undergraduate Psychology Association (UPA)
Your community for all things psychology at UB
The Undergraduate Psychology Association (UPA) is the place to meet fellow psychology enthusiasts, get involved on campus, and explore what you can do with your degree—while having some fun along the way.
We host guest speakers, career and grad school info sessions, volunteer opportunities, and social events. Whether you’re looking to deepen your academic interests or just connect with people who “get” your love of psychology, UPA is here to help you make the most of your time at UB.
