Consider making a donation to support our department

CPSY is seeking donations to our general foundation account, to be used for student and faculty needs. This will include things like: conference attendance, workshop attendance, research supplies, items in support of social justice activities, and many more needs within our department.

We pride ourselves on our involvement with professional associations, including the American Psychological Association and its various Divisions, the Midwestern Psychological Association, and the Midwest Institute for Students and Teachers of Psychology. Our incredible students hold leadership positions as student representatives, social media coordinators, and board members for various groups. 

Our professional commitments require a willingness to travel, for business meetings and for conferences  - APA, International Congress of Psychology, National Multicultural Summit, MISTOP, MPA, and more. In addition, costs for printing posters, conducting research and social-justice activities, and participating in academia, are rising.

This year, we are seeking funds to support unique experiences for students in the Department of Counseling Psychology, Social Psychology and Counseling. Contributions to this fund can help provide opportunities such as conference travel, student research expenses, and social justice initiatives. We know that costs are rising for everyone: flights, registrations, hotel stays. However, the connections made through these non-classroom activities are certainly the ones that stick with us long after we graduate, and the connections made at any given conference are what feeds our soul!


Please help us share the talents of CPSY faculty and students through conference attendance and help us help our community! And don't forget to give us a CHIRP, CHIRP when we meet!

We are excited to share our goals with you!
