The Graduate Peer Mentoring Program pairs established graduate students with peers who are new to graduate school. The role of a peer mentor is to provide support, guidance聽and connection. Peer mentors serve as graduate student life experts and they may have suggestions about work-life balance, adjusting to life in Boulder, advisor/advisee relationships, etc. Ideally, mentors聽serve as both personal and professional support for their mentees.

  • This program is offered through the Graduate School and is a聽supplement to existing departmental mentoring programs.听
  • While participants may be paired based on similar interests, one aim of the program is to offer graduate students ways to meet and build community across disciplinary boundaries.听
  • Participants are free to set their own meeting schedules, but聽we expect that you will meet at least once a month聽throughout the academic year.
  • All mentors will be asked to聽attend an聽orientation at the beginning of fall term聽where we will discuss mentoring skills, expectations and available campus resources.
  • There will be a mentor/mentee聽social event to kickoff the program, where matches can meet each other in-person over coffee.
  • Throughout the year, we will offer a variety of additional social聽events to foster connection with mentor/mentee matches (e.g. cookies decorating, ice cream social, coffee meet-ups, etc.)
  • We expect that each participant will make a good faith effort to communicate with their mentor/mentee.
