The Black Graduate Student Conference in Psychology (BGSCP) has been held every year since 1995 and has demonstrated success in retention of African American graduate students in psychology. The goals of this conference are to: 1) provide graduate students in psychology with a supportive atmosphere to present their research and receive constructive feedback from fellow African American graduate students and faculty that will improve their research capabilities; 2) provide students with an opportunity to exchange strategies and experiences that will help them to thrive in graduate school and beyond; and 3) provide a forum for African American graduate students in psychology to develop long-lasting professional relationships with future colleagues. Conference activities consist of paper presentations, poster sessions, roundtable discussions and professional development presentations. Students are required to participate in all aspects of the conference. This requirement along with the small size of the conference ensures that students get to know each other and fosters a climate of support. The enhanced level of interaction also promotes the exchange of scientific ideas across different areas of psychology, encouraging a more informed and interdisciplinary approach to psychological research. Over the years, the conference has played a vital role in training African American graduate students to become productive and effective researchers, some of whom have gone on to become academic psychologists. The impact of the conference continues to be felt as the research skills and professional contacts that former participants gained from the conference help them to develop professionally throughout their careers.

自1995年以来，黑人心理学研究生会议（BGSCP）每年都举行，并在保留非裔美国人的心理学研究生方面取得了成功。 本次会议的目标是：1）为心理学的研究生提供一种支持性的氛围，以介绍他们的研究，并从非裔美国人研究生和教师那里获得建设性的反馈，从而提高他们的研究能力； 2）为学生提供交换策略和经验的机会，这些策略和经验将帮助他们在研究生院及以后蓬勃发展； 3）为非裔美国人心理学研究生提供一个论坛，以与未来的同事建立长期的专业关系。会议活动包括纸张演讲，海报会议，圆桌讨论和专业发展演示文稿。要求学生参加会议的各个方面。这项要求以及会议的尺寸很小，可确保学生彼此了解并培养支持的气氛。 增强的互动水平还促进了心理学不同领域的科学思想的交流，鼓励采取更加知情和跨学科的心理学研究方法。多年来，该会议在培训非裔美国研究生以成为有效和有效的研究人员方面发挥了至关重要的作用，其中一些人继续成为学术心理学家。随着前参与者从会议中获得的研究技能和专业联系人的影响，会议的影响仍在继续，这有助于他们在整个职业生涯中都在专业发展。
