Student Mentors
Student Mentors are committed to sharing their experience and resources to benefit their mentees' journeys.
TMP taught me to be there for others and to appreciate the beauty of diversity in STEM and in life. To never stop advocating for change, and to use knowledge and compassion to make a difference in the world around me.
— Former TMP Mentor
Faculty Mentors
Faculty Mentors are professors committed to sharing their knowledge, expertise, and wisdom with student mentors and mentees.
Part of why I’m participating in TMP is to fulfill my obligation of passing my knowledge along and making sure the young generation has a role model that can help them navigate higher education and make sure they are successful.
