The Integrated Sciences Tri-Mentoring Program provides valuable support to Integrated Sciences students by promoting and facilitating discussions amongst senior students (students with approved applications) and junior students (students working on their applications). Alumni from various industries and academic paths also serve as mentors, guiding students on career options, networking and confidence building.
The Integrated Sciences Senior Peer Mentors provide information to newly admitted and returning students about course planning and registration, and provide feedback to students regarding Integrated Sciences application essays and course selections. Discussion amongst mentors and mentees allows students to learn about various volunteer and academic opportunities on campus that will facilitate their educational goals, helping to build a stronger community for Integrated Sciences students.
