11. Mentor-mentee program

Based on survey responses indicating interests, all incoming scholars are individually matched with an

older scholar who will serve as their mentor throughout the mentees’ academic career.

Mentors meet with their mentees at least once a month and help to navigate Carolina, serve as a

resource, and provide support in numerous ways.
