STEMNet is looking for mentors for their mentorship program! They aim to pair undergrad students with mentors working / studying in STEM fields including graduate/ professional school students, researchers, professors, nurses, doctors, etc. Mentors would be paired with compatible mentees for a one-time meeting where the mentee can ask questions about careers, schooling, application processes, etc. Each mentor-mentee pairing will only meet once (approx. 30-60 minutes), but mentors can volunteer to take on more than one mentee.
