As a part of this peer-to-peer mentoring program, students in their second year and beyond will serve as mentors to first or second year students. This mentorship may entail sharing various life, academic and administration-related experiences, among other things. Each mentor-mentee pair will be required to meet at least twice per quarter. A small stipend will be provided to enable outings with your mentor/mentee such as going for brunch or coffee, visiting a museum, or other activities.
Applications are open for mentors for AY2024-2025, till July 20. We have over 300 mentees this year, and would require your help in volunteering as a mentor. Please sign up and serve as a mentor, and email us if you have any questions!
