Overview
Ever wonder how your culture, identity, or background shapes the way you see and experience the world? At the Diversity in Psychology Club (DIPC), curiosity meets community. Whether you're a psychology major or simply fascinated by the inner workings of the human mind, you’ll find a place here. We dive into the big questions—about race, culture, gender, mental health, and more—through open conversations, hands-on activities, inspiring guest speakers, movie nights, and career-focused workshops.
This is more than just a club—it’s a space to explore psychology from all angles, reflect on your own experiences, and connect with people who care about understanding the world (and themselves) just a little more every time we meet.
Come as you are….leave with new insights, new friends, and a deeper sense of what it means to be human.
Meetings are every Wednesday from 6:30-7:30 PM in Tobin Hall room 521B. There is no official “sign up” or appointment needed to join our club, you are welcome to just come right in!
