Mission Statement:
We are a psychology graduate student advocacy group at Bowling Green State University that aims to understand
the unique needs of our fellow students and to initiate concrete actions toward meeting those needs.
Based on our realization that some of the social and academic needs of our peers were not fully met, we
initiated this student-directed, action-oriented group. Our ultimate goal is to enhance the lives and
well-being of psychology graduate students.
Guiding Principles:
-
We are an interdisciplinary group. Therefore, we represent all areas of the department (i.e.,
cognitive, developmental, industrial-organizational, neuroscience, quantitative, social, clinical) and
direct our activities to meet the needs of students from all areas.
-
Our work is a collective and collaborative endeavor. Thus, we share responsibility for our
activities, and ownership of our outputs.
-
The group’s primary concern is identifying and addressing the needs of psychology graduate
students. Thus, other group endeavors (e.g., publications) are secondary to this concern.
-
We aim to establish our organization within the existing network of student-oriented groups and
administration. Consequently, as a group we will attempt to build connections with existing organizations
(e.g., APAGS, GSE) and to establish open communication with administration.
-
The activities of our group will be derived from ongoing assessment of all psychology graduate student
needs. However, we will pay special attention to the needs of incoming and lower-year students.
