The Tide Together Graduate Mentor Program helps traditionally underrepresented students in graduate programs reach personal and professional success as they navigate the higher education journey. Our program is unique in that we primarily serve first-generation students, women in STEM fields, and racial and ethnic minorities.
The program utilizes a team approach to mentor graduate students who are currently pursuing or plan to pursue doctoral studies. Participants are matched with faculty mentors and a graduate student peer mentor. The primary aim of the mentoring program is to help graduate students acquire the personal and professional skills needed for success in their future careers.
