Peer Mentoring

One of the program's goals is to build relationships between scholars. One of the ways this is done is through peer mentorship. Each scholar has the ability to receive peer mentorship by one of the Student Coordinators. This is facilitated via Student Coordinator meetings where scholars can connect with the student staff and talk about academics, career goals and aspirations, and life.
