Here are some more benefits of SuccessConnects:
As a 3rd-year scholar you will...
- be part of a small scholar group led by a current graduate student in your field of interest
- access opportunities to support your career and educational advancement
- connect with other scholars and the broader university community
If you've completed your 3rd-year, you will...
- get help with choosing and applying to graduate school and job opportunities
- access opportunities to support your career and educational advancement
- strategize and plan your next steps with someone who has already made the transition from undergrad

Master of Architecture (M.Arch)
Nashville, TN
In undergrad, I mentored new transfer students during my senior year. As a transfer student myself, I enjoyed helping students navigate a large university system. This fulfilling experience is why I became a GSP at the University of Michigan.

J.D. (Law)
Fontana, CA
I decided to become a GSP because I have experienced first-hand the difficulty of applying to graduate school as a first-generation and underrepresented student. My community was a fundamental part of my success when I applied to law school and I want to pay it forward!

I took a non-traditional route to graduate school and wanted to share my experience and give advice to young scholars on their own journeys towards post-graduate studies. I hope to support and inspire undergraduate students in their traditional or non-traditional pursuits of graduate studies.

Limi
Medical School, M.S. in Clinical Research
Canton, MI
The process of applying to graduate school can be a difficult one, and I found a great deal of support from my community as a student, particularly as an underrepresented minority in science. My goal is to provide similar access to resources for students and work with them towards their goals.

I want to support undergraduates determined to become empathetic providers. I am a first-generation, low-income student, and I know the difficulties this can present when applying to medical school. I hope to share my experiences to help them achieve their goals of becoming a physician.

Sanaya

Along my journey to medical school, many mentors have believed in my potential even when I didn't believe in myself. I'd like to uplift other students on the path to professional school while making the journey as enjoyable as possible and utilizing all the resources our campus has to provide.

Serena
Medical School, MBA

I chose to become a GSP to empower the next generation of students to achieve their academic and professional dreams and to build a more inclusive and representative workforce. I hope to offer the same motivation and support I received from mentors, which allowed me to get where I am today.
