Mentoring Opportunities

 

  • MEPO Mentoring Program
    The primary goal of the MEPO Mentoring Program (MMP) is to support the personal and academic development and achievement of students in the College of Engineering. Students have the opportunity to help other students create better connections to the university community and its resources as well as have increasingly positive experiences in and outside of the classroom. Protégés benefit personally and professionally from the insight and guidance of the more experienced students serving as peer mentors. Benefits to the peer mentors include knowing they are making meaningful contributions to the personal and professional development of their peers while experiencing professional development themselves.The peer mentors are upperclassmen who help guide their protégés through the challenges of being an engineering student at Michigan. The protégés are new students in the College of Engineering. The roles of the peer mentors include promoting personal and professional development of their protégés, helping them to overcome challenges and celebrate their success.

 

  • Lunch with a Graduate Student
    The Lunch with a Graduate Student program runs annually from January - April.  It is an opportunity for undergraduate students to learn about the timeline for graduate school preparation, and to inform them about the activities that are offered during the undergraduate years to aid in the process.  The Office of Graduate Education matches students based on preferences.  The students determine when to meet for lunch at a Union eatery.  Lunch is FREE!  Undergraduates can ask questions about admissions, research, funding, academics, faculty advisors, or student life.
