🎓 “I feel a special responsibility to prove them wrong.” — Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Graduate school can come with doubt, rejection, and plenty of voices questioning whether you belong. But sometimes the most powerful response isn’t proving others wrong—it’s continuing to believe in yourself, doing the work, and letting your accomplishments speak for themselves. 💪🏾✨

When technology creates new opportunities for connection, it can also create new opportunities for harm.

A recent New York Times article examining surveillance, stalking, and technology highlights the importance of understanding how abuse can extend across online and offline environments—an area closely connected to the work of ASCP Core Faculty member Dr. Maureen Kenny, an international expert on child abuse and prevention.

At FIU’s Applied Social & Cultural Psychology (ASCP) program, our faculty and students tackle complex, real-world problems where psychology can make a difference.

“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.” — Coretta Scott King

Graduate school can be challenging, demanding, and sometimes isolating. That’s why community matters. When we support one another, share resources, and create spaces where students can thrive, we strengthen not just individual students—but our entire graduate community. 💙✨

What happens when technology meant to keep us safe becomes part of the problem?

A recent New York Times article on stalking and surveillance connects directly to ASCP doctoral student Jacqueline Perez’s research examining stalking across online environments.

At FIU’s Applied Social & Cultural Psychology (ASCP) program, students are encouraged to tackle real-world problems—and Jacqueline’s work shows what it means to use psychological science to understand emerging challenges in our digital world.
