In response to student interest, Space Studies is pleased to offer a mentoring program to guide students through their academics at UND. The goal of the mentoring program is to tap into the vast professional experience of Space Studies alumni and current students to help other students in their career paths and academic choices by sharing program experience, career advice, job-search strategies and other tips.

The alumni listed below have offered to mentor Space Studies students. Contact between the mentor and mentee can be in the form of mailings, phone calls, e-mail, or personal meetings. The initial contact to the mentor should be an informal one, by e-mail. It should be kept friendly and light-- the goal is to have both parties at ease with each other.

The outline below is provided to help define the areas in which mentors can assist you. This is not an exhaustive list, but serves as a guide.



Available Mentors



Mentees should be mindful that mentors are active professionals and their availability may be limited by professional commitments, the number of mentees seeking advice, and other time constraints. Questions regarding school policy, application forms and deadlines, and degree requirements should be referred to the appropriate advisor in the Space Studies Department after consulting the graduate handbook. Please note that mentors may take a few days to respond to your request due to their professional and personal commitments.
