Your DSC - Department Student Council |
|
Hello everyone!
Our names are Clara and Ashley and we are the co-presidents for the Psychology Department Student Council (DSC) this year. For those who do not know what the role of the DSC entails, we are a group of students who act as a liaison between the department and the psychology student body. We are also a resource for students to ask us about anything related to the psychology program, or even Queen’s in general. Additionally, we plan and run both academic and social events for students throughout the year, so make sure to keep an eye out for ways to be involved and meet other students in our program!
The start of a new school year is an exciting time and we want to support you in any way that we can! Feel free to reach out to us at any point on our social media or via email. We wish you all a fantastic semester.
