Responsibilities: Each mentor will be assigned 1-2 new graduate students in their academic department at the same degree level.

A 30-minute information session (on campus or online) will be scheduled for mentors before the mentees are assigned. (Details to be announced after mentors are selected). Mentorship will begin with email correspondence before the students arrive on campus. The partnership will continue throughout the new students’ first semester. Be prompt with e-mail and answer any questions the student might have. Mentors are expected to meet and greet the mentees at one of the Viterbi Welcome Week events (8/18 – 8/28). Mentors are not expected to give specific academic advisement or tutoring. All successful mentors will be awarded a certificate of recognition from the Viterbi School of Engineering. Interested?
