Psychology DEPARTMENT JEDAI Workgroup Tea Time Conversations with SFU Psyc Faculty members on JEDAI Workgroup 

About the Events & Registration/Attendance Guidelines

Tea-Time Conversations with JEDAI are times to meet with JEDAI Profs and each other to discuss various topics depending on the specific occasion. The JEDAI Workgroup plans/holds these events for and encourages attendance by individuals who identify as a member of historically marginalized or underrepresented communities, students in whose families they are the first to attend university, or other groups that have traditionally faced disproportionately greater challenges to academic success. That said, Tea Time is open to students and individuals from all backgrounds.

In the Fall 2023, SFU’s Psyc JEDAI Workgroup psychology professors, Dr. Rachel Fouladi, Dr. Yuthika Girme, and Dr. Hali Kil used Tea Time to discuss graduate programs in psychology, application processes for MA/PhD programs, the ups and downs of the academic journey, and pathways after graduate school.

For the 2024/2025 Team-time events, SFU’s Psyc JEDAI Workgroup psychology professors look forward to continue with the 2023 theme of Tea Time Chats and meet first time grad school applicants who are working on their graduate school applications, holding conversations about research opportunities, and professional development in genera.l
