The Office for Student Affairs (OSA) is starting a new pilot mentorship program for first generation (first in the family to obtain a bachelor and/or a graduate degree) students in SM-60 and SM-80. Ten first-generation mentors who are enrolled in their first year of a program will be recruited. If you are or you know of a student who meets this criterion, please refer them to Yana Geyfman.The ten mentors will be paired with 1-2 first-generation mentees who are newly enrolled in SM-60 and SM-80 at Chan in the Fall 2024. Mentors will provide guidance, share experiences, offer advice, and assist mentees in navigating Chan’s educational system. The program will run for 2024-2025 academic year, with structured activities, workshops, and networking opportunities to facilitate meaningful connections and growth.If you identify as first-generation staff and faculty in SM departments, please kindly complete this survey. The survey aims to collect information on the interest in participating in events designed for first-generation mentors and mentees and offering support to students who are part of the mentorship program.
