Mission and Purpose

NGMP is a 2-quarter mentorship program within the College of Education pairing undergraduate students with graduate student mentors. This program focuses on providing mentorship and insights about understanding the purpose of graduate school, as well as, other post-graduate opportunities and how to determine which pathway the mentee would like to pursue. For graduate mentors, this is an opportunity to give back, to support the next generation, and also to gain leadership, coaching, and mentorship experience that will enrich their graduate school experience. Take a look at this info guide for more details. Apply here to become a mentor and mentee by December 1st, 2021. 

***NGMP IS INTENDED FOR MENTORS AND MENTEES WHO IDENTIFY AS BIPOC, INTERNATIONAL, AND OTHER STUDENTS WITH HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED IDENTITY***

Winter 2022 & Spring 2022: Earn up to 2 credits over the quarters!

We're really looking forward to offering a 1-credit course in Winter 2022 and Spring 2022 for our mentors and mentees. You'll be able to connect with each other, engage in professional and academic development opportunities and receive credit at the same time!
