Dedicated to excellence, access and inclusion
Guided by Arizona State University's Charter and Design Principles, we aim to make a positive impact in our local, national and global communities. The EAI:Psych4All committee, composed of dedicated Department of Psychology faculty, staff, graduate students and undergraduate students, enhances inclusivity and excellence by strengthening our capacity to embrace different perspectives that recognize the various identities in our unit. These perspectives shape our approach to professional practice, research, teaching and service. Your ideas and feedback are welcome in our ongoing journey to create a more inclusive future for our department.
Mission and goals
1
Foster a safe and supportive environment that addresses unique perspectives, equity and inclusion through advocacy, service and awareness programs.
2
Create initiatives that foster inclusive excellence in the department, curriculum, and field, addressing barriers that disproportionately affect underrepresented groups, fostering inclusive representation, and promoting variety in guest speakers, research, and coursework.
3
Advise on practices to protect and promote inclusive excellence at both departmental and university levels, covering areas such as hiring, admission, programmatic milestones, retention, promotion, recognition, evaluation and access to financial resources.
Indigenous land acknowledgement
The department acknowledges that our institution, Arizona State University, is situated on the ancestral lands of Indigenous nations. We thank the Native communities of the Salt River Valley — including the Akimel O’odham and the Pee Posh nations — who have inhabited this place for centuries, and whose stewardship of the land and waterways allows us to be here now.
