Compass Mentoring Program

Compass is committed to supporting its students for their entire undergraduate career. To that end, the Compass Mentoring Program extends the relationships formed during the Summer Program by pairing Compass students 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. Because Compass mentors were recently undergrads themselves, they can act as resources to their mentees and help them 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 there mentors to look out for them as they make their ways through their undergraduate careers.
