Diversity is a fundamental component of The Chicago School’s mission. The school believes that multicultural awareness and cultural sensitivity are essential to the successful practice of professional psychology. The Center for Multicultural and Diversity Studies (CMDS) was chartered to help realize this mission. CMDS has many opportunities for involvement. Please stop by CMDS for additional information and to discuss multicultural issues related to education, professional goals, or personal interests.

CMDS is here for YOU!  All are invited and encouraged to drop in and get involved.
