LATINX STUDENT PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION

The Latinx Student Psychological Association was founded in the Spring of 2013. LSPA seeks to advocate, educate, and empower the Latinx community to realize their full potential in the field of psychology. The objective of LSPA is to guide members to become qualified candidates for graduate school through the implementation of the five pillars: Academics, Leadership, Research Experience, Practical Experience, and Community involvement.

Our goals include reaching out to the underrepresented Latinx community, academics, community service, networking, and socializing. We help sponsor presentations, workshops, and discussions with various topics such as graduate programs, speakers, GRE prep work, showcasing resources available on campus, difficulties facing the Latinx community, and much more. We also offer leadership opportunities, networking opportunities, fundraisers, socials.
