许多心理学系都在努力让有色人种学生在研究生预备课程中拥有更多的代表性，目的是培养更加多元化的心理服务提供者、科学家和教育工作者。为了帮助改善心理学领域的少数族裔人才培养计划，作者确定并描述了 11 个院系和项目所使用的招生和保留策略，这些策略被认为在吸引和留住有色人种少数族裔学生方面做出了堪称典范的努力。最一致使用的策略包括让现有的少数族裔教师和学生参与招聘活动、提供有吸引力的经济援助方案、让教师与未来的学生进行个人接触、与历史上的有色人种机构建立联系、拥有（或接近拥有）一定数量的有色人种教师和学生、提供多样性问题课程以及让学生参与多样性问题研究。尽管有相似之处，但这些项目和院系在招生和保留学生的总体方法上各自独特且具有创新性。强调成功机构所使用的策略可能会帮助其他人制定计划，以改善自己部门和项目内的少数派管道。
Many psychology departments are striving for a greater representation of students of color within their graduate preparation programs with the aim of producing a more diverse pool of psychological service providers, scientists, and educators. To help improve the minority pipeline in psychology, the authors identify and describe recruitment and retention strategies used at 11 departments and programs considered to be making exemplary efforts to attract and retain minority students of color. The strategies most consistently used included engaging current minority faculty and students in recruitment activities, offering attractive financial aid packages, having faculty members make personal contacts with prospective students, creating linkages with historical institutions of color, having (or approached having) a critical mass of faculty and students of color, offering a diversity issues course, and engaging students in diversity issues research. Despite the similarities, the programs and departments were each distinctive and innovative in their overall approaches to student recruitment and retention. Highlighting the strategies used at successful institutions may help others develop plans for improving the minority pipeline within their own departments and programs.
