Graduate Students Mentoring Undergraduates (GSMU) program is a collaborative initiative between the Office of Academic Diversity Initiatives (OADI) and the Graduate School Office of Inclusion & Student Engagement (OISE) and is designed to support the scholarship and professional development of undergraduate scholars in the following programs:

• Pre-Professional Programs (P3)
• OADI Research Scholars (ORSP)
• McNair Scholars Program
• New York State Opportunity Programs (NYSOP)

The GSMU program strives to:

• Collectively create and maintain a safe space for the cultivation of open, authentic, and honest relationships with GSMU community members.
• Inform students’ pursuit of graduate studies by exposing them to and encouraging their exploration of different disciplines and post-baccalaureate journeys.
• Encourage students to reflect on their undergraduate experiences thus far and consider how to shape future experiences in service of their pursuit of graduate studies.

Applicants must be currently enrolled, full-time graduate students or postdoctoral fellows/associates at Cornell University and have completed at least one year in their current graduate degree program or postdoctoral position.
