The Graduate Students Mentoring Undergraduates (GSMU) is a collaboration between Cornell University’s Office of Academic Diversity Initiatives (OADI) and the Graduate School Office of Inclusion and Student Engagement (OISE). Small groups of undergraduate mentees are matched to a team of mentors. Teams have the opportunity to check in with each other at GSMU events and to get to know other mentors in the program. Mentees and mentors are also strongly encouraged to meet individually, as teams, or both with the goal of building a sense of belonging, getting support in navigating campus resources, and gaining exposure to graduate education. This initiative serves Cornell students who are enrolled in the following graduate education prep programs: Pre Professional Programs (P3), OADI Research Scholars Program (ORSP), McNair Scholars Program, and the Arthur O. Eve Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and Higher Education Opportunity Programs (HEOP).
