Implementing Positive Structural Changes for Graduate Students in Psychology

A panel will share findings from a recent survey of 1,798 graduate students, focusing on mental health, academic experiences, and experiences of discrimination. Then, lessons from recent efforts led by doctoral students to institute structural changes will be presented. Finally, the panel and audience will develop an agenda to improve graduate students’ well-being and program experiences.
