Mentorship Program (MP)

MP is a free and virtual/remote program in which psychology undergraduate students will be connected with a Psi Chi at UCR Alumni or UCR Psychology graduate student mentor. As a mentee, you would be guided by your mentor(s) through different paths: preparing for graduate school, researching undergraduate opportunities (on/off campus), and/or post-bachelor careers/opportunities.

Interested in learning about different opportunities during and/or after undergrad? The mentorship program may be the perfect fit for you! Take the opportunity to connect with a mentor.

The MP application cycle for Winter 2025 is now closed.
