GRADUATE STUDENT MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
In Fall of 2021 we organized a graduate student mentor program to pair both incoming graduate students and undergraduates with more senior students. Every experience will be unique. We hope having a mentor in your program will help to fill in the gaps. From advice on navigating registration, grants, healthcare to simple guidance on local trails and housing, we hope this program will provide another avenue of support to students from your peers.
Please fill out the above form to let us know if you are interested in being a mentor or mentee in our new program.

Above is a link to our living document with quick tips and life hacks made for CFOS graduate students by CFOS graduate students. The guide is just a start and we could use more input from a wider range of the student body; if you have updates or additions please make suggestions on the google doc, or contact ua-fossa@alaska.edu
