“The SOPP is a dynamic group of learners committed to preparing students to achieve their fullest potential as individuals, scholars, and agents of change, to promote well-being in the world, individually and collectively.”

“As psychologists, psychology faculty, psychologists in training, and psychology students, we affirm the dignity, worth, and humanity of all people and commit to speaking and acting in ways that reflect such. We commit to being anti-discriminatory as individuals and to helping change systems and institutions that perpetuate discrimination of any kind. We commit to promoting well-being in others and to minimizing harm. And, we pledge to engage in ongoing self-reflection to ensure we are upholding these commitments. As faculty, we further commit to building a climate where all students have the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential and thrive, and to creating classes that are informed and responsive to all students’ experiences. And, we pledge to engage in ongoing programmatic evaluation to ensure we are upholding these commitments.”
