Diversity award for grad school
Argosy University/Honolulu's doctoral program in clinical psychology has received the Institutional Ethnic and Racial Diversity Award from the National Council of Schools and Programs in Professional Psychology. It is the first time the award has been given in three years, and only the fifth time it has ever been given.
The award recognizes an institution's commitment to educating individuals who will serve and work with diverse, marginalized and underserved populations, according to Raymond Crossman, president of Argosy University/Honolulu.
Over the last three years the university completed significant changes to the program that have brought work with underserved populations into the forefront of the school's training program, according to Crossman.
