Each year our students are involved in a number of professional organizations and practicum placement opportunities. Here is a little bit of information about what some of our students are participating in!
Student Affiliates in School Psychology (SASP)
Student Affiliates in School Psychology (SASP) is a student organization for students enrolled in our program. SASP aims to support and foster professional development amongst its students and facilitate growth of leadership skills for student members. In addition, SASP actively recruits students to the field of School Psychology and the School Psychology program at ISU, as well as providing quality service to the program, university and community. Each year SASP conducts a number of fundraising efforts to help raise funds to support student professional development and other departmental activities.
