The Grad/Undergrad Sister Program
| |
What is the Grad/Undergrad Sisters program?
This program matches matches junior and senior undergraduate students with graduate students in SCS. The matches are
intended to be a low-key and fun way to get to know another member of
the CS community. The focus is on building community within the School of Computer Science, and undergrads do not need to be considering grad school in order to sign up. Big/Little Sisters can share their questions, concerns, and advice about life after college, applying to grad school, and more.
How can I be a good Grad/Undergrad Sister?
1. Meet! Meet with your sister within 3 weeks of receiving contact
info. After that, meet face-to-face at least twice each semester.
2. Keep in touch! Email every now and then, even if it's just to say
hi. Respond to your sister's emails in a timely fashion, even if it's
just to say that you're swamped with work.
3. Make it work. Respond to email once or twice a year to verify that
your mentor match is going okay. Every now and then, a match will fail
despite your best intentions. That's okay! Contact the coordinator,
Katrina or Laura, promptly if you can no longer participate in the
program, you're unable to get in touch with your sister, or you have
other problems or questions.
How can I get involved?
If you would like to get involved in the Grad/Undergrad
Sisters program, please contact Katrina or Laura (program coordinators)
stating whether you are a Grad or Undergrad. She will send you a form used to match you with an appropriate Sister. Matches are made throughout the year, so you can sign up at any point.
