The Microbiology and Immunology Peer Mentorship Program (MIMMtorship) aims to ease the transition of incoming MIMM students into the program. Through this program, we hope to strengthen and positively shape our MIMM community.
Being a new student and in a new program is an overwhelming experience. It can feel like there’s so much you don’t know, such as what courses to take or avoid, the best way to get involved, how to meet people and make connections, along with a million other questions don’t even know you have. There is definitely a lot to navigate, which is why MIMMtorship exists. Having a direct connection and a fostered relationship with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic upper year student can make the experience immediately less intimidating and isolating.
Having a peer mentor can have an incredibly positive impact not only during your first year, but can shape your entire experience in MIMM. Mentors will not only help you by answering your burning questions and ease your worries, but they can help you make connections, build communities, and open up opportunities that you might not have realized were there in the first place.
