Why we joined PASC:
Cassandre: I was interested in PASC in order to remain active in social justice work. PASC allows me to remain engaged in advocacy while building community with others who also value creating change. I want to continue to shine a light on injustices and stand with others to eradicate barriers to promote the well-being of all individuals.
​
Deisy: I joined PASC because I value being a part of an organization that works to promote diversity and inclusion in our field.
​
Darlene: I joined PASC so that I could be a part of social change in my community and not just in my clinical work.
​
Macey: I joined PASC to be in community with my peers as we engage in efforts for our own growth as culturally conscious researchers, clinicians, and educators and in efforts towards meaningful social change and advocacy in our own communities and broader society.
Madasen: I joined PASC to serve our students and facilitate connections with the community at large.
​
Charlie: Media coverage of inequality across the US increased exponentially over the past several years, sparking (sometimes contentious) conversations among the population as people are introduced to pervasive social issues. For people of color and marginalized groups, however, injustice has long been a relentless agent of socialization and an inescapable facet of reality. I joined PASC because I believe in solidarity, and I believe in the ability for my colleagues and I to effect change within our community.
​
McKenzie: I joined PASC to be involved with a community of other students who are engaged and active in advocacy and social justice work, while growing to become culturally competent psychologists.
