The PsycPEERs (Psychology students Promoting Equity, Empowerment, and Representation in Science) Fellowship supports students of color newly navigating the psychology major and minor. The program employs a nested mentorship model, fostering peer connections and networking, resources for academic success, and professional development strategies. Fellows gain access to monthly guest speakers—psychologists of color from various disciplines—who provide insights into graduate school, minority stressors, and academia’s hidden curriculum. PsycPEERs aims to empower underrepresented ethnic minority students by offering resources, networking opportunities, and discussions on equity in psychology. An evaluation of the program will assess past and present student experiences, informing future development and enhancement.
