The Office of Undergraduate Peer Research Mentor Programs connects students both entering and continuing in research with a community of their peers and a mentor. There are two kinds of peer mentors that are available to support you:
Workshop Peer Mentors: The Science Research Workshop, the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Research Workshop, and the Finding a Lab Support Group all have peer mentors who help students to find research opportunities, support students entering research to find or create research opportunities.

Profiles for our 2023 Workshop Peer Mentors are available here.
Research Peer Mentors: These peer mentors play an important role to help develop a positive and engaged community of student researchers at Northwestern, and help students new to undergraduate research navigate the process, particularly for the cohort of Summer URG winners.
