Thinking about law school, teaching, or graduate study in the humanities or social sciences? Join “Applying to Graduate and Professional Schools” to hear from people involved in admissions for law school, schools of education, and graduate school. There will be plenty of time for questions.
MAGIC mentees: this is a great complement to your mentoring conversations!
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.
Just a reminder that our drop-in mentoring program lets you connect with any available drop-in mentor whenever you need support. Simply click on the “Our Mentors” tab and look for the “Drop-in Mentors” link.
MAGIC mentees should have already received the password by email. If you have any questions or need help accessing the program, feel free to reach out!
As the semester concludes, this is a good time to check in with your mentor or mentee 🙂
(Those who requested formal mentors should have received their matches in October. If you were not matched with a mentor but would still like one, please contact us!)
We’re thrilled that so many mentees signed up to join!
With so many to match, the process is taking a little extra time—thank you for your enthusiasm and patience!
MAGIC is welcoming new mentees and mentors for the 2025-2026 cycle! Sign up at the “Join” tab above!
Everyone who requested a formal (one-on-one) match by October 4th should now have received a response! And signups remain open!

We are preparing to create our initial round of mentee-mentor matches for 2024-2025 at the end of this week! If you would like to be matched with a mentor in this first round, and you have not yet signed up, please fill out this brief sign-up form (~3 min) by this Wednesday, October 2nd. Matches will be sent out on October 7th. (We anticipate a subsequent round of matching for later signups.)
