What is SCOPE?
SCOPE aims to improve the recruitment and retention of undergraduate students who identify with a historically excluded racial and/or ethnic group into graduate programs in psychology through culturally responsive mentoring. Auburn University’s SCOPE program, in collaboration with Loyola University New Orleans, will be held on a weekend in the Summer of 2024 (June 1st, 2024 from 9am to 5pm CST) virtually via Zoom. The SCOPE program is FREE for all participants.
The program includes a series of dynamic breakout sessions led by psychology faculty, professionals in the field, and graduate students. After attending this program, participants will continue to work with their mentor to enhance their graduate school applications by learning skills that will increase their likelihood of success in the graduate application process.
The ideal participant for SCOPE is a current or recent undergraduate student who identifies with a historically excluded racial and/or ethnic group who is interested in pursuing graduate-level education in psychology or a closely related field. Faculty and graduate student mentors represented at SCOPE include (but are not limited to) individuals from Clinical Psychology, Experimental Psychology, Industrial Organizational Psychology, Counseling Psychology, Human Development and Family Studies, Neuroscience, Social Work, and Applied Behavioral Analysis.
