The Graduate School accepts applications to the 2017-18 Graduate School Mentorship Program (GSMP). The GSMP matches undergraduate and graduate students in mentoring relationships in order to expose undergraduate students to the graduate experience as they consider further study and to provide graduate students with the opportunity to develop mentoring skills as they share their own personal experiences with the undergraduate students in the program. Students are matched based on areas of academic discipline and/or interest. Students interested in being matched with a specific student must both indicate this interest on the application. In order to qualify, graduate students must be at least second-year and be in good academic standing. For undergraduate student mentee applicants, preference is given to applicants going into their sophomore, junior or senior years. Undergraduates are expected to maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 throughout the duration of the program. Application review will begin soon. Applications are accepted by rolling admissions. Applications are available at the website below.
