Psychology for Equity, Awareness, and Community Enhancement
Purpose and Mission
The purpose(s) of this organization shall be to provide a supportive environment for students, faculty, and staff from all walks of life to come together to work toward social justice and applying psychology in an evolving and diverse world. Through exposure to empirical literature and subsequent discussions, those involved in PEACE will learn how psychology can be applied to real world problems and social change. More than speaking about change, those involved in PEACE will get out and do something to impact the campus, local community, and broader environment.
