Learn more about your impact
Founded in 2019, the ENERGIZE Initiative in Psychology has helped over 250 students who are under-represented in scientific psychology. The primary goal of the initiative is to help these students obtain laboratory experience that furthers their understanding of scientific psychology and that increases the success of their applications to postgraduate programs. We achieve this goal by providing the following:
— Mentoring to prepare the student for a laboratory interview.
— Intensive mentoring in laboratory skills.
— The opportunity to develop and conduct their own research in the laboratory or in a special course, Applied Psychological Methods.
— Professional development opportunities such as travel to conferences to present their research.
Thus, the ENERGIZE Initiative is a vital component of the Psychology Department's efforts toward diversity.
Impact of Donor Support
- More learners can pursue higher education. Thanks to our donors, more than 7,000 ASU students have received upwards of $32 million in scholarships with more than $39 million raised.
- More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
- Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
- The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.
I believe ASU is a major life force in our community and I want to do my part to help it thrive."
