In the continued effort to develop a central database to track the internship experiences of UP PSY majors and minors, we invite all students who completed a Fall 2025 internship – paid/unpaid, for course credit/not for credit – to fill out the following brief (9-item) survey.
Qualtrics Survey Link and QR Code
The survey can be filled out multiple times – ideally once per internship site upon completion of the internship experience. Thank you in advance for your time and responses.
Please see the attached flyer for the same information. Here is the link for the job applications: https://sites.up.edu/moveup/paid-opportunities/
The Great Life Mentoring team is seeking volunteer mentors for their SMART study . The program focuses on supporting youth from low-income families experiencing mental health challenges, and the need for volunteers to serve as mentors.
Join the Health and Wellness teams at the Weekly Guided Meditation. Every week, they facilitate a brief 10-15 minute guided meditation to allow students, staff, and faculty to build time for mindfulness into their schedules. This event takes place every Wednesday at 12:30 in either the Lower Level of Orrico Hall or Franz 120. More detailed information can be found here: https://www.up.edu/wellnesspromotion/weekly-meditation-meetings.html

During Drop-In Hours you can meet with a staff member for 15 minutes. No appointment is needed and they are first-come, first-served. This is a great place to get feedback on resumes and cover letters, get started on an internship or job search, learn how to use Handshake and LinkedIn, and answer any other career-related questions you may have.
Note: The CEC does not have Drop-In Hours during Fall Break, Winter Break, Spring Break, or during the summer. Please schedule an appointment if you'd like to meet then. Alumni cannot attend Drop-In Hours but can make appointments with our office.
