The first Diversifying Psychology Weekend welcomed 20 bright, determined and passionate students to a multi-day graduate school information session at Syracuse University.
Diversifying Psychology Weekend is designed to prepare talented minority students for graduate study in Psychology. Guests attended seminars, panel discussions, lab tours, dined with faculty and doctoral candidates, and had an inside look at the psychology graduate student experience at Syracuse University.
Throughout the weekend, Psychology Department faculty and graduate students highlighted the value and strengths of our Clinical, Cognition, Brain and Behavior, School and Social Psychology doctoral programs, showcase the differences and advantages of our community, and share tips on how to navigate the graduate school admissions process.
