Outreach

Nu Rho Psi focuses not only on developing members’ scientific skills, but also their humanitarian ones. Communication with and connection to our community is pivotal to the nature of science itself, as everyone deserves to have the capacity for expanding their knowledge. Members of Nu Rho Psi are provided the training and confidence to conduct effective outreach to the community, bridging the gap between the theoretical nature of their research and the humans affected by it.
