Calls for the PSYC EDI committee

The commitment include a 1.5 hour meeting once/month from September-April plus 1-2 hours committee work/week (though often/usually less); we hope undergraduate members could sit on the committee from July-June but understand that summer months can pose a barrier for undergrads so these are optional.
If you are interested, please email Suzanne DeSousa at psyc.office@queensu.ca who will send you the committee's goals, policies, and group rules. In that email, or after you get that information, please email the following to the same (Suzanne DeSousa at psyc.office@queensu.ca):
