Masters Mentor Dr Manyu Li

The Master’s degree program in psychology supports graduate students through research and training shaped by Dr. Manyu Li’s work in social, community, and cross-cultural psychology. Her research includes place attachment and cross-cultural studies of migration and immigration. She has involved graduate students in publications and conference presentations across related areas.

Dr. Li promotes student development through attentive communication, instruction, and opportunities for feedback before students work more independently. She provides concrete expectations for success and a structured, learning-conducive environment that also allows room for creativity and independence. Mentorship also extends beyond psychology, with student researchers supported in fields such as architecture and mathematics.
