Peer Mentoring Program

The New Scientist Peer Academic and Leadership (NS-PAL) provides 1-on-1 mentoring to underrepresented minority (URM) students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) concentrations.

NS-PAL Membership

Coordinators are mentors who possess strong leadership and organizational skills. As leaders, they design and plan activities for the entire NSC community.
Mentors must demonstrate their availability to create and sustain an atmosphere that is welcoming and supportive of their peers. Mentors must stay in their role for at least 1 year. Continuance in the program is contingent upon their commitment to this program.
Mentees are 1st or 2nd-year students recruited through the NSC application. All mentees are expected to participate in program activities to aid them in excelling academically at Brown.

Learning Teams

Program Goal: To help New Scientist Collective (NSC) members and underrepresented minorities (URM) succeed in difficult STEM courses by fostering a spirit of collaboration and learning, guiding them in group discussions with a focus on encouraging students to learn from each other while doing the course homework assignments, exercises, and additional readings.
