University of Georgia Psychology: Fourth Annual Summer Undergraduate Research Education Program (SUREP)
PSYCFWD
Dear students,
Have you ever considered completing a graduate degree in psychology? Faculty and graduate students from the University of Georgia’s Psychology Department have united to create the Summer Undergraduate Research Education Program (SUREP). SUREP is a free virtual summer education and mentorship program designed to provide undergraduate students (and recent graduates) with information about what graduate study in psychology involves, what it takes to get there, and what career options are open with a Ph.D. in psychology. One of the primary goals of this program is to broaden participation in psychology, making graduate study in psychology more accessible to groups that are traditionally underrepresented in psychology (and academia more broadly). We're reaching out to Psychology majors at colleges and universities in our region to share information about our program and encourage interested students to consider applying.
The SUREP program will take place May 21, 2024 and June 25, 2024 (meetings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 5-7 pm eastern US time). Participating students will have the opportunity to:
· Learn from experts in the field about their current research and how they got there
· Work with current UGA graduate students and faculty to compose graduate application materials
· Learn about how to create research questions and design a research project to test those questions
We also hope to offer a small number of summer research internship positions, in which you students will work virtually in a UGA psychology research lab. Possible labs where internships may be available are listed in the application.
There may also be a limited number of scholarships available to help defray the costs of taking time away from paid employment in order to participate in this program. If you are interested in being considered for a scholarship you can indicate your interest in the application.
If you are interested in applying for SUREP, click this link and fill out the application. Priority deadline for applications is April 1st, and the regular deadline is April 15th. If you are interested but are unable to attend the entire program, please indicate any limitations to your availability in the application. If you have questions you are welcome to contact the SUREP coordinators (surep...@uga.edu).
