Diversity Project – 2010 Summer Institute!

Diversity Project 2000 and Beyond (DP2kB) Summer Institute
San Diego, California
August 10-13, 2010

DP2KB is a national leadership and mentoring program designed to prepare ethnic minority honor students attending community colleges for service in a global community. The mission of DP2kB is to encourage ethnic minority honor students at the community college level to become professional psychologists in the areas of practice, education or research.  DP2kB was inspired by the sustained health disparity in psychology and the paucity of psychologists of color.

 DP2kB occurs two days prior to and two days during the American Psychological Association (APA) convention, which is located in different areas of the United States each year.  This year the convention is located in San Diego, California.  Ethnic minority honor students from community colleges located in the San Diego area are encouraged to apply to the program and will receive small grants from the APA during their attendance.  Students of color in the San Diego area who meet the qualifications of the program, but are not attending a community college with a Psi Beta Chapter, are also encouraged to apply.  Psi Beta Council Members and Advisors who have qualified ethnic minority honor students are encouraged to find travel and lodging support for those students.  A statement from a supporting Psi Beta Chapter or faculty advisor must accompany applications to the program from qualified ethnic minority honor students who are not attending community colleges in the San Diego area.
