Peer Mentors

Our Psychology Peer Mentors are junior and senior psychology majors who are selected through a student-run process.

They provide individual peer mentoring with psychology students (majors, minors, and interested undeclared students), hold social events and mentoring office hours, and provide feedback to the psychology faculty. Make sure to get on the psychology listserv if you wish to learn about upcoming events and office hours!

Recent alumni from various sub-disciplines of Psychology have agreed to serve as a resource for Haverford students applying to graduate programs. You may wish to ask them for advice about the following topics:

  • Personal statements
  • Contacting potential mentors
  • Networking opportunities

Note: A valid Haverford College Google account is required to access the contact information Google Sheet.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list; many Psychology majors go on to careers or degree programs outside of Psychology. For broader networking resources and career advising, please visit the CCPA website or sign into Handshake.

Graduate Programs that have “Preview” Weekends

Some psychology graduate programs offer recruitment weekend opportunities to undergraduates from underrepresented backgrounds. These “preview” weekends allow students to find out more about applying to graduate psychology programs, what it’s like to be a psychology graduate student, and what it’s like to attend their school. Note that most of these programs have applications—check individual sites for deadlines.
