ESSC Peer Mentorship Program

Students on campus

Be a Mentor, Work with a Mentor

This mentorship program aims to help new graduate students in their educational journey by being matched with an experienced graduate student to promote personal, career, social, and academic engagement. The mentorship relationship can be a mutually beneficial one with both students learning more about each other, our campus resources, and its academic and professional opportunities. This unpaid, volunteer initiative is supported by the Engineering Student Success Center via a Mentorship Team of ESSC advisors and includes an initial orientation for mentors as well as bi-monthly check-ins between advisors and mentors.
