Everyone who requested a formal (one-on-one) match by October 4th 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. Since this is application season, we’ll aim to get the next round out within 2 weeks.

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!

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 7^th. (We anticipate a subsequent round of matching for later signups.)

Sign up here (3 min form) ASAP to be part of this year’s MAGIC mentoring program — we will be matching mentees with mentors at the end of September!

Effective immediately, HuskyLink is not longer available to our mentors and mentees. UConn has decided to discontinue the use of the platform. Moving forward, we will be deploying formal one-on-one matches via email and mentees interested in drop-in mentoring are encouraged to email our mentors to schedule a meeting. Our mentors page indicates which mentors are available for drop-in mentoring. Please email us ( magic.initiative@uconn.edu)  for the password to access this page. Thank you and apologies for any inconvenience this may cause!

If you’re looking for PhD openings or a paid research assistant position – many are being posted on X (Twitter)! We are re-tweeting as many as we can find in Psychology and related areas, so follow us at @MAGIC_Mentoring!

Spring/early summer is when many labs advertise paid, full-time research assistant jobs, and we’re collecting as many ads as we can find on X (Twitter). So if you’re looking for a research assistant job, follow @MAGIC_Mentoring!
