Diversity Mentorship Program for Prospective Graduate Students in Psychology

The Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia is launching a Diversity Mentorship Program for students from diverse, under-resourced, traditionally underrepresented, and/or marginalized backgrounds. This program is geared towards advanced undergraduates or recent graduates who are interested in applying for research-oriented graduate programs in psychology.

This program will begin with a virtual weekend of workshops, panels, and small group meetings on June 4 to 5, 2021. Following the event in June, mentees and mentors will meet through the summer, fall, and winter to discuss topics of greatest interest and need for the mentee, such as selecting graduate programs, personalized feedback on application materials, preparing for campus interviews, and navigating academic and professional decisions.

A limited number of vouchers will be available to program participants to offset the UBC graduate school application fee.
