1. Familiarize yourself with the psychology faculty at your institution. Begin by studying their biographies, which are often available on the departmental website. If faculty have their own websites or resources for learning more about their professional work, read this information as well. Begin to identify which faculty members share your interests in terms of careers, research, and professional activities. Strive to get to know these faculty over time by taking courses with them, seeking them out as advisors, and initiating conversations about their work.
