Everyone who requested a formal (one-on-one) match by October 9th should now have received a response! And signups remain open!

We will continue to create formal matches throughout the fall (at least) on a rolling basis.

AND stay tuned for more information about drop-in (ad-hoc) mentoring via the MAGIC website. With drop-in mentoring, mentees will also be able to reach out directly to other MAGIC mentors for advice – coming soon!

Are you considering graduate school in psychological sciences, cognitive science, neuroscience, speech and hearing sciences, linguistics, or a related field? MAGIC connects aspiring graduate students with friendly faculty and graduate student mentors. They can help you explore whether grad school is right for you, find research experience, and prepare your applications.

We especially welcome students from underrepresented and historically marginalized groups and first-generation college students. You don’t need to be a UConn student, and you don’t need to have decided to apply yet.

To be matched with a mentor this fall, fill out this brief sign-up form (~5 min) by Friday October 9th. We aim to send matches by mid-October.

Interested in mentoring? Faculty, postdocs, and graduate students are welcome to sign up using the same form, whether or not you’re currently affiliated with UConn. We especially need mentors in clinical psychology.
