Mentorship program
Dear PHAS Graduate Students,
The PHAS DGA is excited to launch a new mentorship program to support undergraduate students applying to graduate school this fall. We are looking for graduate student volunteers to serve as mentors and guide undergraduates through the application process.
As a mentor, you can:
- Share your experience applying to graduate school and navigating life as a graduate student
- Offer advice on choosing programs and preparing application materials
- Provide constructive feedback on draft statements of purpose or CVs
- Build meaningful connections with future colleagues
- Add valuable volunteer leadership experience to your CV, which can strengthen future award and scholarship applications
Time Commitment: At least one hour of meet-up per month with your mentee(s), plus any additional time you wish to give for reviewing materials or answering questions.
If you’re interested in volunteering, please fill out our short interest survey here.
Please apply by September 5. The survey will help us determine how many mentors we have so we can match undergraduates with graduate students in similar fields of interest.
Your insight and experience could make a real difference for students who may feel overwhelmed by the graduate application process.
