    The Peer Mentoring Program assists new students in our programs through their transition into the scientific community by pairing them with a peer mentor who provides guidance and support. Peer mentors provide their mentees with semester-long support in areas such as goal setting, research, social support, and professional development. They work individually with students, assess their strengths and needs, and devise a personalized plan of action.
