Unite With Local Groups That Support Diverse StudentsMake connections with your school’s international student office, multicultural student office, disability support office, and other offices that support different communities. Ask chapter officers to reach out to leaders of different communities such as the LGBTQ community, racial/ethnic minority student communities, and groups that represent different religious affiliations. Promote awareness of Psi Chi for psychology students in these organizations and offices. For example, invite the students to presentations about applying to graduate school, getting involved in psychology research and service on campus, and becoming a member of Psi Chi!
