Compass is committed to supporting its students throughout their entire undergraduate career, and one way it does that is by running a mentoring program that pairs Compass undergraduates with graduate student mentors.
Throughout the academic year, Compass students meet one-on-one with their mentors to discuss whatever might be on their minds: classes, schedules, study habits, research opportunities, or just life in general. Compass mentors help their mentees navigate the ins and outs of college life. They understand that many of the challenges faced by undergrads can cause stress and frustration, but that these challenges can be overcome; indeed, many of them have overcome similar challenges themselves. They are also plugged in to the research life of the physical science departments and can help advise mentees who are interested in pursuing research and internship opportunities. Perhaps most importantly, Compass students can count on their mentors to look out for them as they make their ways through their undergraduate careers.
