This year, Division 5 will be launching a mentoring program at the American Psychological Association Convention in August 2022. The primary goal is to connect Division 5 members who are students or early career scholars with more advanced methods scholars, offering curated opportunities to meet and discuss developing a sustainable research agenda and ways to collaborate on concrete projects, with the hopes of connecting and deepening relationships with Division 5 members.
The event will involve:
-
Preparation activities in the lead up to the convention.
-
Programming time during the convention to engage with mentors and the exchange of ideas around mentees’ projects and areas of interest.
-
Off-site social and networking event for the mentors and mentees during the convention, paid for by Division 5.
In line with the APA’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Framework and Division leadership’s commitment to having an accessible, equitable, and inclusive Division 5, we especially want to encourage those who identify with historically marginalized/underrepresented groups in psychology to consider applying, as well as those across all sections of Division 5.
