No Two Graduate Students are the Same

Some graduate students want to pursue an academic career, others want to advance their position within industry. Others are still figuring out the future. 

With over 80 dimensions of identity on our matching survey, we ensure that every graduate student finds the right mentor to support them through their studies.

Foster Belonging

Pairing every new graduate student with a peer mentor immediately connects them to the college community.

 

For the students and alumni serving as mentors, it's a great way to develop their leadership skills and stay engaged in student life.

“At Rice Business, our students benefit from an intimate, family like setting, with faculty members who know students by name and classmates who are deeply connected with one another. Mentor Collective allows us to take this to the next level by offering a platform for our first-year MBA and Master of Accounting students to gain a one-on-one connection with a second year student  or a recent member of the alumni community. Mentor Collective ensures that the mentoring connection is impactful for the first-year student and meaningful for the mentor.”

George Andrews, Associate Dean for Degree Programs, Rice University Jones School of Business

"The other thing that is really valuable is the support of the Mentor Collective team.  Having a small office of three folks and two that do student support, we have been able to have a greater impact because of the infrastructure that Mentor Collective provides ...For our students to be able to identify a mentor based on their needs is huge."

Jennifer Clinkscales, DSW, LCSW, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, University of Pennsylvania

Deliver ROI for Every Graduate Student

A lack of social capital holds many graduate students back from thriving in their programs and landing their dream job after graduation.

Peer mentorship is a well-established high-impact practice that increases students’ social capital, particularly for those from historically underserved backgrounds.
