Neuroscience Mentoring Program: Mentee Applications Open Until 10/26
Are you a first-year or sophomore interested in neuroscience? Unsure as to how to navigate the many neuroscience opportunities at Duke? Would you like to learn firsthand from an upperclassman mentor how to find a research laboratory, conduct an independent study research project, select neuroscience courses, apply for graduate/medical school, and navigate neuroscience resources at Duke? If yes, we encourage you to apply to be a mentee with the Neuroscience Majors’ Union and Summer Neuroscience Program’s Peer Mentoring Program! After carefully matching mentees and mentors, the Program will host dinner talks and social opportunities to facilitate bonding between the pairs.
