Psychology Advising AnnouncementsFeedback for the department? Check out our suggestion box. 1. Department of Psychology Update: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and AccessibilityWe are pleased to share the Department of Psychology's first Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) Accountability Report, 2021-22. This report is meant to communicate progress on action steps identified in our Recommendations to Enhance Equity and Inclusion in our Teaching, Research, and Service document, completed in 2021. It serves as an acknowledgment of our shared responsibility to enhance IDEA in our Department, in psychology education and research, and the discipline and profession more broadly. We recognize that it is also incumbent upon us to educate leaders who will work to address structural inequality and injustice. This is a progress report meant to highlight both the work we have accomplished, and the work we have yet to do, and is by no means to be taken as an indicator that we are finished. The IDEA Accountability Report addresses the following five areas, undergraduates are likely to be most interested in the second and fourth categories below: Note that Page 3 of the report details how to interpret the color coding system we will use to communicate progress made on each action step in 2021-22. This report will be updated and communicated annually to facilitate ongoing transparency and accountability with this work. All students are invited to share feedback about their experiences. We will also plan to review this effort to gather feedback from our 22-23 Psychology Student Advisory Council this Fall. 2.
