First-Generation Psychology Majors Group

Are you a first-generation psychology major? First generation means neither of your parents completed a four-year college degree. You are welcome to join our First Gen Psychology Majors group! This group is co-led by Dr. Sandra Hoyt and Dr. Julie Suhr, who are both "first gen" themselves. We offer monthly meetings on topics important to our first gen majors and are also starting a Teams group where there will be resources and video links to our meetings, in case you weren鈥檛 able to attend them. If you鈥檇 like to join the Teams group and/or learn more, please contact Dr. Hoyt at hoyts@ohio.edu or Dr. Suhr at suhr@ohio.edu.
