Graduate Buddy Program
ABOUT THE PROGRAMThe first year of graduate school can be extremely daunting and overwhelming. When many of us entered the Comparative Literature program, we did not know to whom we should address our questions or even what questions to ask. Because we know what that first year feels like, we decided to implement a mentor program. All new students will be assigned a mentor who has completed at least two years in the Comparative Literature program. The mentors are recruited on a volunteer basis. We will be taking mentor sign-ups in the Spring of 2016. Once the list of newly admitted students comes out, the Executive Board will match up mentors with the new students. The mentors will help their mentees transition to life in Baton Rouge and at LSU. We believe that this will aid in improving retention and building strong relationships between students in the program. |
