Alumni-Student Mentorship Program

About the ProgramA woman in a blazer meets with a student at Robart's Library.

The Psychology Undergraduate Department’s successful Alumni-Student Mentorship Program is back for another year. The Program aims to support Psychology undergraduate students as they explore their career and educational options beyond graduation.

Alumni mentors share their experiences, insights and advice, enriching the student experience in a meaningful way. This can play a pivotal role in helping our students to understand the opportunities and pathways that are open to them after they graduate. 

Student mentees have the unique opportunity to get acquainted with an established Psychology graduate and learn from their experiences in the workforce and/or academia, as well as develop essential skills like professionalism and communication. 

This activity is also approved for inclusion in the Co-Curricular Record (CCR) program. Information on how to register for this CCR opportunity will be provided to student mentees during orientation sessions.

This year, the program is scheduled to run from November 2025 to March 2026. 

 

Eligibility

There are a limited number of spaces in this extremely popular program. We regret that we cannot match all students with a mentor, and thank you in advance for your understanding. 
Applications are first assessed and then, in the interest of fairness, spaces are filled according to a lottery system. 

The Program is open to 3rd and 4th year Major and Specialist Psychology students at the University of Toronto St. George Campus.
