Every incoming first-year student is matched with a primary and a secondary mentor, who are current NSGP students, in an effort to maximize access to the resources, information, and people that are available at Brown. The goal of the mentoring program is to provide every incoming student with:

• Someone to answer questions about and help connect mentees to potential rotation labs
• Help in finding useful resources/groups on campus
• Practical advice and answers to general questions about Brown/the NSGP program/grad school
• A connection within the current grad students to help make the transition to a new place easier
