The Psychology Belonging Initiative (PBI) began in 2024 with the goal of helping psychology students feel more at home and connected to the department. Over the years, we’ve heard various stories and worked on several different programs to help build the undergraduate experience.

• Visiting Freshmen Surveys
• Hosting Table Discussions
• Listening to Personal Experiences

SP26 Opportunity: Applications Due 1/25! 

Are you graduating Spring or Summer 2026? Are you curious about joining a group which focuses on next steps and this period of transition?

Welcome to Shady Pines Senior Community!

Join our group of graduating seniors as we tackle the transition out of college and the uncertainty of our next steps. Each month we will meet to discuss an experience that seniors may be going through: staying motivated, dealing with ambivalence, moving past rejection, or being present in the remaining moments. In this small cohort experience, facilitated by PBI coordinator and graduating senior Greyson Osterfeld and Dr. Cravens-Brown, we will explore these topics and support each other. We invite you to join us, share your experiences, and transform your final semester through community!
