UNCC Community Psychology Training Program - Enrolling PhD Students for Fall 2018

[Announcement from SCRA-L]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The Community Psychology Training Program at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is currently recruiting students to begin in Fall 2018. Our Community Psychology program, which received the 2013 Excellence in Education Award from the Society for Community Research and Action, is a specialization within the broader umbrella of an interdisciplinary doctoral program in health psychology.

We have 4 core community faculty – Andrew Case, Jim Cook, Ryan Kilmer, and myself – and we focus our training on helping students develop community-based research and practice skills, which enable them to make a difference in their communities.

I have appended some additional information about the program after this note. Please share this announcement with prospective students interested in doctoral training in community psychology.

Thanks,

Victoria
