The Media School is piloting a peer mentor program for first-year direct admit students from historically underrepresented populations. Mentees will be paired with third- and fourth-year students for a yearlong mentorship program.
The program will also welcome any first-year Media School students who reach out for support, with the goal of helping all mentees feel more connected and supported early in their Media School experience.
Mentors will be asked to meet with their mentee once a month, stay in regular communication, and participate in pre-semester and post-semester meetings with the program leaders.
