The Department of Psychology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln affirms its commitment to improving the representation within the field of clinical psychology in all its forms. We strive to be a department where all feel safe and welcome in all of our research, teaching, and service endeavors. As the history of psychology and science broadly teaches us, diversity improves our science and our science confirms the indispensability of diversity. Fitting these philosophies, we have established a growing list of initiatives that are aimed at enhancing diversity and inclusion among department members and promoting diversity-focused research.
Inclusive Excellence Work Group
The department’s diversity and inclusive excellent efforts are led by the Inclusive Excellence Work Group made up of faculty, graduate students, and staff. The Work Group consists of Coordinators for Graduate Education, Undergraduate Education, Awards, Colloquia, Social Media, and Research and Scholarly Activity. We have representation from faculty and students across the disciplines within the department of psychology. There is also a strong leadership and presence from the CPTP faculty and students.
