[#DIV28SUPER] student positions with Division 28

Hello APA Division 28 Members!

 

Just a friendly reminder that we are looking to recruit students who are interested in volunteering for several positions with Division 28. These positions provide an excellent opportunity for professional service, networking, CV building, and having an impact at APA and Division 28. Additionally, these positions bolster the student's likelihood of serving as Division 28's Student Representatives.

 

These positions include:

• Assistant Editor for our Divisional Newsletter. Responsibilities include assisting our Newsletter Editor, Dr. Meredith Berry, in compiling columns from executive committee members as well as collaboratively writing the Diversity Column and Spotlight article. Newsletters are sent out quarterly. Meetings with Dr. Berry would occur as needed. Further questions can be directed to mberry@ufl.edu.
• Positions on the Diversity Committee. Responsibilities include attending Diversity Committee meetings (monthly or bimonthly) to provide student perspectives & input on diversity-, inclusion-, and antiracism-related initiatives. Some work may be required between meetings to further student-relevant initiatives. Further questions can be directed to Dr. Wendy Lynch (wjl6w@virginia.edu) and Dr. Kelly Dunn (kdunn9@jhmi.edu) .
• Positions on the Social Media Committee. Responsibilities include attending Social Media Committee meetings (bimonthly or quarterly) as well as providing/generating content for the APA Division 28 Twitter and Facebook accounts. Further questions can be directed to Mariel Bello (marielbe@usc.edu) and Gaylen Fronk (gfronk@wisc.edu).

All positions require a 1-year commitment. Division 28 welcomes all students to apply for these positions; the only eligibility requirement is graduate student standing as of January 2021. We encourage applications from students from backgrounds that have been typically underrepresented in science and research.

 

If you are a graduate student and would like to apply for these positions, please submit your information via this Google form. Applications are due by Tuesday December 15, 2020. If you know of others who may be interested in this opportunity, please share this information with them. We will also be sharing these announcements via our Division 28 Twitter (@APADiv28) and Facebook accounts, so please retweet or repost there as well!

 

Thanks, Wendy
