CheMentoring Circles
Don't forget to sign up for the Chemical Engineering Department's first student-to-student group mentoring program! All it takes is 2 minutes to fill
out the survey to be placed in a CheMentoring Circle with your peers!
We aim to have the CMCs facilitated into groups by mid-November and we will be hosting a happy hour as an initial “ice-breaker” meet up for you
and your circle members!
You can find more information on our CMC page. If you have questions, please email us at [email protected].
