Mentorship
Mentoring of Students and Igniting Community (MOSAIC)
The Mentoring of Students and Igniting Community (MOSAIC) program is a faculty-to-student mentorship program. This program is open to all students. The goal of MOSAIC is to ultimately create support that fosters community between faculty and students. Mentorship is identified as a critical component for the personal and professional growth of students in graduate schools of public health but is generally provided to undergraduate students. Graduate students often express a lack of institutional support, difficulty fostering relationships with faculty, limited career preparedness, and trouble finding community amongst peers as gaps that need to be filled.
R.I.S.E. Peer Mentor Program
The R.I.S.E. Peer Mentor Program is a peer mentorship initiative for master's students at the Mailman School of Public Health, offered through the Office of Inclusive Excellence. The program is designed to support first-year master's students as they transition to graduate school by fostering connection, community, and personal and professional growth. Incoming students are matched with second-year student mentors through a comprehensive application process that considers shared experiences, interests, and goals. Mentors provide guidance, encouragement, and support as mentees navigate academic, professional, and campus life at the Mailman School.
