About
The Graduate School Mentoring Program is designed to guide aspiring graduate students through the complex and often overwhelming process of selecting and applying to graduate school. Aimed at college students from NH-INBRE schools, our program provides invaluable resources, support, and networking opportunities to help navigate the graduate school admissions journey. Each session, hosted by current graduate students who are NH-INBRE alumni, offers in-depth exploration of different topics every month in a 1.5-hour live Zoom format. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, receive feedback on their application materials, and gain insights from those who have successfully navigated the process themselves.
