Psychology Announcements

Did you complete a Fall 2025 internship?

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.

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.
