Our Crowdfunding Groups
NAU CHAPTER OF RMPA
The Rocky Mountain Psychological Association (RMPA) was created in 1930 for the purpose of advancing and advocating for psychology as a science, a profession, and as a means of promoting human welfare in the states of Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Every year RMPA holds a conference at various locations throughout the region for members, professionals, and students to present research. RMPA conferences also include other presentations, such as presentations helping student researchers with the graduate school application process. This year's conference is in Denver, Colorado, from April 10th-12th. This year's student research groups from NAU have chosen to research whether there's a connection between an individual's socioeconomic background, their participation in extracurricular activities, and how mental health may affect this connection; and how levels of stress affect substance use. Both groups are actively collecting data for their projects and are eager to present their research at the conference!
SUPPORT OUR TEAM
Our goal is to raise $3,000 to cover any expenses our students will have to pay out of pocket for attending the conference, including fees for lodging, transportation, and presentation supplies. It will help ensure that all our student researchers have the opportunity to attend this research conference, regardless of their own personal financial status.
SWING YOUR #AXEOFKINDNESS
Your gift will support the ability for undergraduate students to both complete and present their research at this conference. As an undergraduate student, obtaining research experience is crucial for gaining insight into the scientific process and developing critical thinking skills essential for graduate-level study. Graduate programs highly value applicants with hands-on research experience, as it demonstrates commitment to the field and the ability to contribute to the field of psychology. By donating to our student researchers, you are empowering them and helping them pursue their goals.
THANK YOU!
Thank you for your gift, and please share this crowdfunding project with your networks to help us spread the word. Your support is much appreciated!
A message from this year's RMPA Coordinator:
Hi! My name is Sage Kaminski, and I am currently a senior at NAU majoring in psychology and minoring in political science.
This is my second year as the RMPA coordinator, and it’s been such a rewarding experience. Last year, my research team and I raised over $4,000 to attend the RMPA conference, where I got to see firsthand just how impactful presenting at a research conference can be. For a lot of our student researchers, this is their first time conducting and presenting research, so it’s an amazing opportunity to really immerse themselves in the field. One of my favorite things about RMPA research groups is the connections we build along the way. Working together all year and then traveling to an out-of-state conference brings us so much closer. I’ve seen how hard we’ve all worked on our research, and I know that getting to present at RMPA will make it all feel so worth it.
