The Michigan Association of Psychological Scholars was created in 2005 in order to offer a new form of guidance and support to undergraduates in the Psychology department. MAPS is a mentoring program that pairs graduate student mentors with one or two undergraduate mentees. Mentoring matches are made based on similarities in interests, demographic criteria such as race or sexual orientation (at the request of the mentee), and the undergraduate’s perceived need for mentoring and guidance. The program also offers free events, which range from panel discussions and professional workshops to social events that give mentors and mentees a chance to unwind during the semester!
