Connect with Potential Mentors

The knowledge and insight you bring to the conversation is not always measured by your GPA. Due to the collaborative nature of most creative and academic work, the skills needed to succeed involve more than your technical abilities (and often despite them)—ranging from communication to creativity.

Reaching out to potential mentors is intimidating for everyone, but you can do this—and we're here to help. We provided advice to get you started from a "first contact email" template to discussion questions, but reach out as you have questions. The process can be frustrating at times, but we encourage you to be patient with yourself and let us know as you need a pep talk.
