MSPS Mentorship Program

Registration

• When? September

• Where? McGill Mentorship Network

Overview of the Program

This program provides the opportunity for new and incoming physics undergraduates to pair up with experienced upper-year students and seek guidance on courses, research, careers, and navigating the wonderful world of physics! Whether you are looking for insights on how to organize your schedule, finding undergraduate research and opportunities, or building connections within the department, mentorship can help pave paths toward academic and professional success.

• • Role of the Mentee (U0/U1): Receive guidance and advice from a mentor to assist in course management, goal setting, and career-related decision making.

  • Role of the Mentor (U2+): Provide insight and guidance for the mentee based on personal experience in career and academic pursuits.

Program Structure/Expectations: 

The program is designed to be highly flexible and easy to integrate into your schedule! Once paired, the mentor will reach out to the mentee to arrange the first meeting. After that, it's up to you! You can decide how often you'd like to meet, what you'd like to discuss, and how you'd like to move forward.

Pairings will be done on a first-come, first-served basis and will consider the answers provided by both mentor and mentee in the registration questionnaire. Mentors can choose to take on more than one mentee; meetings should be conducted one-on-one.
