Community. Conversations. Connected.
Description
One aspect of our organization is connecting with members and groups in our community. We decided to extend our goals and ideas to high school students who identify as people of color, or who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, and who are interested in Psychology and Mental Health. This conference will be centered on familiarizing students with life at the University of Washington and highlighting the importance of people like them in the field of Psychology and Mental Health.
The conference is free to attend!
The conference will be an all-day event, beginning at 9am and commencing around 4:30 pm. The day will consist of a Keynote speaker, a series of breakout sessions & workshops, lunch, an RSO fair, and a campus tour. Students will have the chance to meet other high school students, current UW undergraduate and graduate students, Psychology professors, counselors, and advisors.
​
We hope to have students leave the conference excited about the field of Psychology, motivated to pursue higher education, and having experienced the University of Washington.
