How can we make a difference?

What can we do, especially with our careers, to meaningfully confront the world's most pressing problems?
The Effective Altruism Club at W&M empowers students to answer this and related questions. Our club is part of a global movement focused on integrating this evidence-based reasoning into career guidance, as well as, providing a space for truth seeking discussions on how to most effectively improve the lives of others.
Some of the world's issues affect us more severely than others - global poverty, AI, neglected diseases, factory farming, . . . . Effective Altruism is all about using evidence and reason to assess how to benefit others as much as possible, and then taking action based on the findings.
We connect altruistically minded students with internships, grants, and guidance to pursue highly impactful careers. We also run regular discussion and social groups.
Whether by pioneering new mental health interventions, working to reduce biases in our personal and institutional decision making, or exploring novel solutions to depression, Psychology students have a massive potential to do good.
