We Are Hiring

Help organize Ontario's first undergraduate psychology conference. Open to students from every Ontario university.

Why join OUPEC?

Joining OUPEC is not just another extracurricular activity. It is your chance to help build the first undergraduate province wide psychology conference in Ontario. That means you are not stepping into an existing system, you are helping create it.


Here is what you actually get out of it:

  • Experience that stands out. Not generic club work, but real projects, real responsibility, and real impact.

  • A portfolio you are proud of. Designs, logistics plans, academic content, sponsorship work… tangible things you actually created.

  • Leadership opportunities that matter. You will not just “help,” you will own parts of the conference.

  • A network beyond your campus. Connect with psych students, researchers, professors, organizations and professionals across Ontario.

  • A seat at the table. Your ideas shape the event. Nothing is already decided.

  • Skill growth that’s impossible to fake. Problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and project management in a real, high-stakes setting.

  • The chance to build something that becomes tradition. You will be part of the team that started it all.
