Welcome to the Compass Project!
The Compass Project is a group of graduate and undergraduate students in the physical sciences. We focus on improving the student experience at Berkeley through peer-to-peer or near-peer interactions, especially for students who are typically underrepresented in the physical sciences. Our goals are to increase retention of underrepresented students, offer professional development opportunities, and nurture a community-focused environment that will empower students to succeed in pursuing their scientific interests and contribute uniquely to the physical sciences community. We offer a mentoring program and research lecture series, called the Compass Lectures.
