The Graduate Mentorship Program matches new graduate students with their more experienced peers to be supported as they adapt to graduate school life.

Mentors introduce new graduate students to graduate studies at Memorial, help them develop effective study habits, make them aware of support services on campus, get them involved in campus and community events, and most of all, provide a friendly, familiar face around campus. Mentors can also share their personal experiences during their graduate studies and help new graduate students to understand their expectations about graduate studies at Memorial. 

If you are interested in applying for this program, please see Become a Mentor or Request a Mentor sections of this page. If you have any questions, please reach out the program facilitators:
