AIGP/NASD Mentor Program


Announcing:  AIGP/NASD Mentor Program
 We are inviting all Graduate and Undergraduate students to participate in this, our first, mentorship program.  This is an excellent opportunity to develop and strengthen connections across the academic generations.  Cal can be a maze and we all need an extra hand to make it through.   Working with someone can be the key to a successful paper, semester, and degree experience. 

Our strength has always come from our intergenerational relations.  This is an opportunity to put that into practice.

If you'd like to have or be a mentor please send me the following information:

Name:
Affiliation (Tribe, Pueblo, Nation, Village, etc., ):
Year at Cal:
Major or Department:
Area of interest, or specialty:
One sentence describing your style:
One sentence describing the style of your ideal mentoring partner:

We will have mentors and mentees matched up as soon as possible—we are aiming to introduce folks at the Welcome. 

We will continue to match people up through out the semester.

What the program involves: 
1.  Meeting informally to discuss academics, Cal, interests, navigating the campus terrain, art, music, food etc.,  The program is what you make it!   Try it and see what works, what doesn't.

2.  Additional hosted events during the fall semester, where everyone participating in the program can gather, connect and share.
