About our mentoring program

PUGs runs a yearly mentoring program, pairing undergraduates and first year graduate students with more experienced mentors, usually graduate students or postdocs. Mentors and mentees meet one-on-one on a monthly basis (or more frequently if they wish!). 

The goal of the program is to foster a supportive community for undergraduate physicists of underrepresented genders. Having a mentor provides students with someone who has progressed a little farther through the system and can give valuable insight and support. Individual mentoring pairs are highly tailored to the goals of the student and what they are looking for in a mentor, including but not limited to research or academic advice.
