About Us
The Mentoring of Students and Igniting Community (MOSAIC) program is a faculty-to-student mentorship program for underrepresented students including those who self-identify as first-generation students, students of color, and their allies. This program is open to all students. The goal of MOSAIC is to ultimately create support that fosters community between faculty and students. Mentorship is identified as a critical component for the personal and professional growth for marginalized students in graduate schools of public health but is generally provided to undergraduate students. Graduate students often express lack of institutional support, difficulty fostering relationships with faculty, limited career preparedness, and trouble finding community amongst peers as gaps that need to be filled.
