Alumni and Friends

As a graduate of Oakland University Department of Psychology, your insight and support is invaluable. We care about what you have accomplished and the paths you have chosen. Your career can guide current and potential psychology majors. As an alumni, there are many ways you can give back to the OU psychology community.

Ask an OU Alum / E-mentoring Opportunity

Learning about the career paths of psychology graduates is important to current psychology majors.

If you’re someone who wants to get involved with Oakland University's Psychology Department and undergraduate students, but don't have a lot of time to visit, the e-mentoring program, Ask an Alum, may be right for you. Students can send questions to a moderator who will then forward the questions to alumni e-mentors best suited to answer them. From there, the e-mentors will contact the students with a response and, if desired, they can maintain a mentoring relationship.

What can you do?

If you would like to become an e-mentor, please fill out the two-minute psychology e-mentoring Google form with your information and areas of expertise.

If you would like more information about this program please email Rebecca Malatesta at [email protected], or call 248-370-2693.
