Become A Mentee

Learn the secret survival techniques of the physics department from someone who’s been there! As a mentee, you get an upperclassman physics student mentor as a confidant(e) and buddy, there to answer all your questions and to share their experiences as a physics major.

Hey there!
I am so excited to have you join our program! Below are a few questions to help me get to know you a little better. Your answers are just for me to try and match you with a mentor, you will not get ‘rejected’ from the program. They will not be shared or used elsewhere (besides with the mentor you get assigned to) so give as much detail as you are comfortable with. If you haven’t already, check the Meet Our Mentors page to learn a little bit about our awesome group of mentors for the year. If there is one mentor in particular you think would be a good match, you can let me know in this form. No guarantees but I will do my best to make it happen! If you have any other questions or concerns, you can contact me at prism14@bu.edu.

I hope to meet you soon!
-Bobby

Please try to submit the form by September 13th.
