Kali Psychi – Digital Magazine

Kali Psychi (The Good Mind or Soul) is an annual publication highlighting the accomplishments of the School of Behavioral Science’s faculty and students. Liberty University’s reach is far and wide as professionals from the Department of Counseling, the Department of Psychology, and the Department of Social Work seek to address the emotional, psychological, behavioral, and social needs of others. Embodying the message of John 14:12 (New International Version, 1978/2012)  which states, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father”, the School of Behavioral Sciences is accomplishing great things for the body of Christ. Our digital magazine provides a snippet of missions work, research, awards, and other outstanding contributions.

It is distributed via email as a digital magazine to all faculty, staff, students, and alumni of Liberty University’s School of Behavioral Sciences.

Each year, Kali Psychi provides a glimpse into the remarkable work taking place throughout the School of Behavioral Sciences. As I read these pages, I am reminded that our mission extends far beyond the classroom. Through research, scholarship, clinical service, missions, and leadership, our faculty and students are seeking to understand people more deeply and serve them more effectively. The stories highlighted here reflect a shared commitment to academic excellence, Christian faithfulness, and meaningful engagement with the challenges facing individuals, families, and communities. As John 14:12 reminds us, Christ calls His followers to continue His work in the world. It is encouraging to see that calling lived out in so many ways across our school, and I am grateful for the faculty, students, and alumni who contribute their gifts in service to others and for the glory of God. My hope is that as you read these pages, you will be encouraged by what God is doing through the School of Behavioral Sciences and inspired to consider how your own gifts and calling can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jeffrey Boatner
