The Center for Graduate Life and Learning (CGLL) is pleased to announce a new mentor/mentee program for doctoral students called Niner Doctoral Collective.
Funded through HERFF funds from the Division of Student Affairs, the Niner Doctoral Collective is intended to connect doctoral students who began their program during the pandemic with more advanced doctoral students in an effort to provide connections and community. We know that many graduate students felt isolated and lonely during the lockdowns due to Covid19. We hope that by facilitating these mentor/mentee relationships, doctoral students will find new support systems and may come to understand the “hidden” curriculum of doctoral education.
If you get questions about this initiative, please feel free to reach out to Dr. Jill Huerta, Executive Director of the CGLL. More information is available from the CGLL website.
