As part of the event, some participants may also have the opportunity to meet with Rutgers Psychology faculty members in small groups. These small-group meetings are intended to provide additional guidance and exposure for students who may not otherwise have access to faculty mentorship, research advising, or conversations about graduate training. Space in these meetings may be limited, and we will do our best to match participants based on research interests and faculty availability.<\/p>\n<p>To apply for the webinars and panels only, you will simply need to answer some questions about demographics (optional), your major(s), and interest in the event. To apply for the opportunity to meet with Rutgers faculty, you will also need to answer some short response questions. The short response questions for this portion of the application are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Please describe your current and previous research experience, if any (150-200 words). If you do not have prior research experience, you may instead describe relevant coursework, work experience, volunteer experience, skills, or interests that have prepared you to explore research-focused graduate training.<\/li>\n<li>Please describe your research interests and goals for graduate school (150-200 words). You do not need to have a fully developed research project. We are interested in learning what topics, methods, populations, or questions you are most curious about.<\/li>\n<li>What would you hope to gain from participating in a small-group faculty meeting? In your response, you may describe what you hope to learn or discuss, such as research fit, graduate training, mentorship, lab culture, research methods, or preparing for psychology Ph.D. applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of this application information will be submitted via an online form using the link above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can expect to hear back from us by October 2, 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can apply for this event online.
