Peer Mentorship Program
The Psychology Peer Mentorship Program is a project part of the UW Psychology Society. PMP connects first and second-year psychology students with upper-year mentors who can provide personalized advice and share their experiences on various academic and extracurricular topics.
​
Our aim is to build a sense of community among Psychology undergraduate students. This program consists of three different teams, each targeting a specific aspect of the university experience. These teams include the Professional Development, Academic, and Interpersonal Team.
The Professional Development team assists students with their professional careers by creating informative workshops that include the pursuit of traditional and non-traditional routes. The Academic team supports students in navigating the academic aspects of their degree, grad school, and research assistant roles. The Interpersonal team is a safe place for students to meet, learn more about themselves and others around them.
