Housed within the Office of Graduate Student Life, the Graduate Mentor Program pairs undergraduate students with graduate student mentors who offer support and guidance on exploring graduate studies. The program works in tandem with the McNair Scholars Program at Boston College and is in session from October through May. Students are paired with faculty mentors who they meet with at least twice per semester. Students may have the opportunity to be immersed in the work of their mentors through lab visits, readings and discussions of academic papers, participation in a colloquium or research presentation, and other activities designed by mentors and the McNair staff.
