Introducing Diversity in Psychology

Diversity in Psychology is meant to provide a method for interjecting diversity easily into your classroom. Representation matters, so introducing a diverse psychologist at the beginning of each class or chapter can not only heighten visibility, but hopefully provide powerful role models for students of diverse backgrounds. Check out what CSU’s Psychology Department is currently doing in support of this mission.
