APA Science Student Council

APA Science Student Council Mission Statement

The APA Science Student Council (SSC) is dedicated to advocating for the needs of research-oriented graduate students.  This is accomplished by: 

• Advising the Board of Scientific Affairs and the APA Science Directorate on research-oriented student issues. 

• Developing science-oriented APA Convention programming. 

• Representing and facilitating communication between various subspecialties of psychological science (e.g. Datablitz and other Convention sessions). 

• Disseminating information relevant to research-oriented graduate students (e.g. newsletter articles on such topics as funding opportunities and career information). 

• Recognizing early research accomplishments (e.g. Early Graduate Student Researcher Awards). 

• Enhancing student knowledge of advocacy issues (e.g. newsletter articles, resources online). 

• Promoting the visibility of psychology as a core Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) discipline.
