GSAS Community Fellows Mentorship Program

The GSAS Community Fellows are launching a mentorship program that pairs undergraduate students with graduate student mentors that can help support their mentees. There will be an event on February 28 at 4–7 p.m. in the SEC Atrium to match mentors and mentees. If you're unable to attend, you can still participate in the program. Those who can't attend the matching event will be sent another survey that will be used to pair them with a mentor.
