Graduate Peer Mentor Program

Graduate Peer Mentor Program

Congratulations, and welcome to ULethbridge Grad Studies!

Celebrating the next steps in your career and academic journey, the School of Graduate Studies supports our peer mentors as an enhancement to your journey.

Starting graduate studies can be exciting and overwhelming, the journey will look different than undergrad with many different milestones and deadlines that vary across disciplines, departments and programs.

The School of Graduate Studies has created the Graduate Peer Mentor Program to provide you with a connection to institution, a guide through the polices and resources and someone to connect with if you are not sure where to start. Oh and of course to provide you with tips and tricks to navigate graduate school, including the fun, and finding the balance.

Whether you are receiving regular outreach from a mentor or just have a question, all graduate students are mentees. Please reach out to a mentor if we can support your journey.

 

How do I connect with a Mentor?

Step 1: Are you new to the School of Graduate Studies?

Yes, you are already in.

You will receive an email from the Graduate Peer Mentor Program Coordinator with a form. Fill it out to help us by providing more insight into your specific needs.

Step 2: Watch your ULeth inbox!

Within the first month of classes, you will receive a personalized email from your Graduate Peer Mentor. They will use the information you provided to welcome you and provide you with any additional resources to get you started in your first term.

Step 3: Give Us Your Feedback

At the end of every term we want to hear from you, we will send you a short survey and ask if you would like to continue receiving outreach from your mentor. You can opt-out and back into the program at any time. All graduate students are mentees.

Are you a continuing student who wishes to connect with a mentor? Do you have a question for a mentor?

Please fill out the Ask A Mentor Form and we will connect with you, within 3-5 business days.

Please reach out to us anytime with any question or request and we will do our best to guide you to the resources and supports or find someone with the answers.
