THE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

The relationships formed during the summer program extend far beyond its completion. Throughout the year, Compass students meet one-on-one with graduate student mentors to discuss whatever might be on their minds: classes, schedules, study habits, research opportunities, or just life in general. Many of the issues faced by undergraduates cause stress and frustration and can lead promising physical science majors to abandon the physical sciences entirely. Addressing these issues early will help the Compass students remain confident and achieve success in the physical sciences
