PGC began the physics peer mentoring program to help new students in the transition to graduate school and current students in developing their professional mentoring skills. If you are a current physics graduate student interested in being a mentor for the upcoming school year ('25-'26), there will be a sign up sheet emailed in July, or you can contact the physics graduate council.
The department and university event lists are updated throughout the semester, so be sure to check back in periodically!
