Thank you to our planning committee!

We would like to say thank you to the members of KPA who planned this year's KPSC! We had undergraduate & graduate student participation as well as members of faculty from universities across the Commonwealth.  

This event could not have been successful without the hours of work they dedicated. We appreciate you!

If you are interested in serving on next year’s planning committee, please be sure to reach out to the Central Office at [email protected]. 

A special thank you!

We would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Tierra Freeman-Taylor, the Psi Chi club, and faculty of Kentucky State University for hosting this year’s event! 

Supporting students on their journey to becoming psychologists is an important part of KPA’s mission. If there is anything that we can do to contribute to your success, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].
