Are you a student (or former student) from an underrepresented background who is considering applying to a PhD program in Psychological Sciences, Cognitive Science, Neurosciences (including Cognitive, Animal and Human) or a related area (e.g., Linguistics or Speech and Hearing Sciences)?

Would you like to connect with friendly faculty members, postdoctoral fellows or graduate students in your area who can give you advice and mentorship on topics like: choosing a program, feedback on your application materials, etc?

Then please fill out this form to participate in the MAGIC (Mentoring Aspiring Graduate students and building an Inclusive Community) program. In this program you'll have the opportunity to have one-on-one video chats with University of Connecticut faculty, post-docs and Ph.D. students who want to mentor underrepresented aspiring doctoral students. You'll also be invited to an online orientation session about how to sign up for your video chats and how to get the most out of them. The orientation session will also provide you with general information about applying to PhD programs in Psychology/Cognitive Science/related areas.
