Grad Peer Mentoring (GPMs)

Grad Peer Mentors (GPM) The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) Graduate Peer Mentors (GPMs) play an essential role in increasing undergraduate students’ awareness, interest, and participation in research activities. OUR master’s level Graduate Peer Mentors are very knowledgeable about the research process. They all participated in research as undergraduate students, so they can relate to the experiences of current undergraduates navigating research endeavors. OUR GPMs facilitate OUR workshops across a range of topics, from entry-to-research to basic research skills. During their Drop-in Hours, GPMs support for students interested in research activities. GPMs can meet with individual undergraduate students seeking help with:

• Basic questions about research
• Help to find a research mentor
• Review documents, such as conference abstract, CV, or scholarship essays
• Questions about graduate school
