The Diversity and Inclusion Student Committee (DISC) is a social justice group composed of Doctoral students in the UNLV Department of Psychology. We aim to advance social justice and authentic community within the department and in the greater Southern Nevada community. Join us to learn, take action, and come together to celebrate diversity in an inclusive, judgment-free community forum. In the past, we have covered topics such as racial violence, Black mental health, LGBTQIA+ issues, intersectionality, feminism, accessibility and neurodiversity, and many more! Members of DISC have the opportunity to:
- Advocate for social change initiatives and how to implement them in your personal and professional life
- Contribute to the development of a vibrant and supportive community of psychological scholars from diverse backgrounds
- Volunteer or participate in community events/outreach such as PRIDE, The AIDS Walk, and local shelters for unhoused youth
- Advance D&I efforts within the Department of Psychology and beyond
