Undergraduate Mentoring Program
The undergraduate mentoring program pairs outstanding upperclassman in the department with students who have fewer than 60 credits and are intending on majoring in psychology. Mentors are also available for other students within the department through office hours, held weekly in Johnson Tower 201. Peer mentors are also available to meet over Zoom. If you want to meet with a peer mentor over Zoom, please just email them before or during their office hours, and they will send you a link to a Zoom meeting. The mentors are knowledgeable about departmental opportunities, navigating the university, study skills, and general tips for being successful students. In addition to meeting with students in small groups and through office hours, as a group they put on presentations about topics relevant to anyone interested in Psychology or getting involved at the university! If you have any questions about the program, please contact Dr. Blythe Duell (blythe_duell@wsu.edu)
