The AWG mentor/mentee program will be hosting its annual match-up event, this Wednesday, October 6^th from 5:00 –6:00pm, outside behind the Hintz Alumni building (google maps — underneath the tents).  We will have snacks, come hang out and meet potential mentors or mentees!

The program pairs undergraduate and graduate students in order to build relationships and provide a resource for advice on internships, finding research opportunities, applying to graduate school, career options, etc.  AWG will subsidize the cost for each mentor/mentee pair to go out for a coffee break or lunch once a month.  Undergraduate and graduate students, and all genders are encouraged to participate.  If you are unable to attend the event, you may sign up to be paired with a mentor or mentee at this link by OCTOBER 15.
