Past Cultural Diversity Workshops
The Cultural Diversity Series is an initiative designed to promote cultural awareness, student professional development, and spiritual integration. School of Psychology and Counseling students enrolled in the Psychology doctoral program (Psy.D.) and school faculty present topics that address the various dimensions of diversity (e.g., race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, physical ability, marital status, sexual orientation, and spiritual/religious orientation).
