We are excited to announce that students will have the opportunity to participate in a complimentary lunch with a developmental psychology expert scholar. The mentoring lunch is a small-group event where you enjoy lunch and conversation with one of our volunteer mentors. This event is co-sponsored by the Developmental section of the Canadian Psychological Association and students who are section members will have early access to sign up for the mentoring lunch.
If you are a student planning to attend Development 2026, browse our list of volunteer mentors and register below. Spaces are extremely limited! Not everyone who registers can be accommodated. You will receive an email from us confirming your registration.
