One way I will help bridge this gap will be by exposing psychology students to virtual reality and explaining the new presence it has taken in the field of psychology. After talking with several students, I found that not one was aware of this new method of therapy using virtual reality for patients of all kinds. Students did find it very interesting and I feel this is a great way to get psychology student's foot in the door of I&E. Virtual reality has been used for exposure therapy to help patients conquer fears of flying, test-taking anxiety, panic attacks, arachnophobia, anxiety disorders, and even ADHD, but is not limited to this list. A lot of students, including myself, didn't know or only knew about a few I&E resources our campus offers at a surface level. I believe opening up this opportunity to psychology students to learn about this subfield and virtual reality will spark the flame of I&E awareness and involvement for my target population, psychology students who currently have little to no involvement with the I&E community.
Whereas, we are obviously not certified counselors or psychologists and cannot actually perform these kinds of therapies. I do believe making students aware of this subfield within psychology and giving them direct opportunities to interact with virtual reality will be a big step toward our leadership circle's goals of breaking down academic silos and connecting passion and education with career through innovation and entrepreneurship.
