We strive to inform students about psychology at the U of A and provide information to anyone who is currently in a psychology program, is thinking of psychology as a possible career or to anyone who is just interested in psychology.

Peer Mentorship
The Peer Mentorship program facilitates one-on-one interaction between a 3rd/4th-year student and a 1st/2nd-year student in psychology. An upper-year psychology student who meets the criteria to act as a mentor (please see application) will be assigned to a 1st/2nd year student who seeks peer guidance, advice, and support on academic or program-related issues. The assigned mentor will act as an information source for the school year.
