SOEST Maile Mentor Application
Thank you for applying to the SOEST Maile Mentoring Program.  

The mission of the SOEST Maile Mentoring Bridge program is to attract undergraduates from Hawaiʻi into SOEST degree programs and help them thrive through individualized mentoring and peer support.

Maile mentees are current and prospective SOEST students. Each mentee is paired with a mentor who is a SOEST graduate student, post-doctoral research associate, or recent graduate. Mentor-mentee pairs meet regularly (~1–2x/month) for lunch, and all participants attend group meetings (~1–2x/semester) to share experiences, provide a sense of community, and strategize solutions to any problems that they may be experiencing.

Benefits for Graduate Students
  • Gain professional development in networking.
  • Learn to support personal growth and reflection.
  • Join a community of peer support. 
  • Contribute to expanding the geoscience workforce.
