Div. 7 connects students and early career psychologists with experts.
At the start of my term as president of Div. 7, I think about the tremendous impacts of COVID-19—including the ways it has affected research, education, children and families and how the pandemic has laid bare longstanding racial and economic injustices. Although I have hope for a better 2021, it is clear just wishing will not make it so. What can we do? For Div. 7, here are some of my ideas, and I invite our members to reach out with their own.
Great leaders
