In this symposium, three presenters who have been involved with NCSPP for many years will review NCSPP’s establishment as a “disruptor” organization. We will supplement their presentations with comments from past presidents and others history of NCSPP’s history as an innovator and disruptor, and its evolution into a leading voice in psychology education and training. We will then will discuss three examples of disruption of the status quo that were led by NCSPP, its member schools, and its delegates: Competencies and the Development of the Practitioner-Scholar Model; Bringing Diversity to the Forefront; and Broadening our Horizons: Psychologists as Advocates. Finally, we will end with a group discussion of issues facing psychology education in which NCSPP might take the lead in disrupting the status quo and promoting positive change.
