Every incoming first-year student is assigned a small mentoring group which consists of other incoming first-years, current students, and a faculty mentor. 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
