The PSD Peer Mentorship Program (PMP) is an exciting experience for PSD PhD students from diverse backgrounds, designed to enhance and support academic, social, and community development.
The PMP has three goals:
- To empower participants to take an intentional and strategic approach to their graduate education;
- To educate students about how to access the myriad resources available to them at UChicago;
- To develop a sense of community by connecting PhD students across disciplinary boundaries.
Program Description:
Participating students are encouraged to commit to the PMP for the entire academic year (roughly from the end of September until June), for a total time commitment of 3-5 hours/quarter. Mentors will meet with their mentees once a month in the Autumn, Winter, and Spring quarters, and all PMP participants are welcome to attend PMP socials.
Training for Mentors will be provided.
