Hoos Connected at UVA

For the first time ever, Hoos Connected is offering a 3-week, intensive clinical internship. We are seeking motivated and compassionate psychology majors to join us this July at the University of Virginia.

What does the internship entail?
This internship is different from any training opportunity Hoos Connected has offered before. In three short weeks, you’ll:
- Learn everything you’ll need to be ready to facilitate a group of your own in the Fall ‘22 semester
- Work closely with program creators in a highly personal and interactive environment alongside a small group of other dedicated students
- Gain invaluable interpersonal and leadership skills and gain a greater understanding of the field of clinical psychology

Here’s what you need to know:
- When: July 11th - July 29th
Meets on weekdays from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
- Where: In-person at UVA
- Led by: Dr. Alison Nagel ([email protected])

How do I apply?
To apply, send your resume, unofficial transcript, and a paragraph about why you are interested in facilitating with Hoos Connected to [email protected] by June 1st. We will then hold interviews and release decisions by June 13th.

Accepted students must be able to enroll in PSYC 3991 in the Fall of 2022, which means being available to facilitate a Hoos Connected group on either Monday or Tuesday evenings (5:30-6:45 pm) and participate in weekly group supervision (Thursdays 11:30 am -12:45 pm or Thursdays 1:30-2:45 pm)-

BIPOC students, students from low-income households, and first-generation college students all face unique barriers to adjusting to college life. At Hoos Connected, we're all about helping students from ALL backgrounds feel that they truly belong here. Our data show that students really benefit from what our program has to offer, including improvements in mood, well-being, and a sense of belonging. And that these benefits were even STRONGER for students from marginalized backgrounds. Join us this semester!
