CPSY seeks donations to our general Foundation account, to be used for graduate student and faculty needs. This will include, but is not limited to, conference or workshop attendance, research supplies, or items in support of social justice activities.
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 students hold leadership positions as student representatives, social media coordinators, and board members for various groups.
Our professional commitments, however, do require a willingness to travel, for business meetings and for conferences - APA, International Congress of Psychology, National Multicultural Summit, MISTOP, MPA - the list goes on. In addition, costs for printing posters, or conducting research and social-justice activities, are rising.
So this year we are seeking funds to support conference travel, research, and social justice activities. 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 don't forget to give us a CHIRP, CHIRP when we meet!
We are excited to share our goals with you!
