DIVERSIFYING PSYCHOLOGY
DIVERSIFYING PSYCHOLOGY WEEKEND:
10:00 AM - 1:30 PM EST, Saturday May 7th, 2022
We are pleased to announce our fourth annual Diversifying Psychology Weekend. The event will be held virtually. The Diversifying Psychology Weekend will help students from underrepresented and diverse backgrounds learn more about research and graduate school in psychology, prepare to apply for a doctorate in psychology, network with graduate students and faculty, and learn more about what our department has to offer you. We especially encourage students to attend who are early in their college career and/or who are less familiar with doctoral degrees in psychology. The event is supported by Miami University’s Psychology Department, College of Arts and Sciences, and Graduate School, and Center for Student Diversity & Inclusion.
 
All attendees should register using the link on the webpage below. Attendees should:
  • Demonstrate a strong interest in learning more about a doctoral degree in the following areas of psychology: clinical, cognitive, community, developmental, social, or neuroscience.
  • Identify as a racial or ethnic minority traditionally underrepresented in psychological science AND/OR identify as an individual who will enhance the diversity and inclusivity of psychological science. Examples include (but are not limited to): first-generation college students, individuals with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals, individuals from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, etc.
