Best wishes for a relaxing and rejuvenating Spring Break!
We are halfway through the Spring semester. You just received your mid-term grades and are now preparing and ready for a break. We encourage you to take full advantage of the week off to relax, recalibrate, and to come back energized to finish strong. Remember that you have in your TMP family a community of support to help you succeed and achieve your goals.

Justin Pilgrim | Mechanical Engineering | TMP Student Mentor
A month ago, my proposal for the Western Honors Regional Conference was accepted by the Honors College. Between April 7 and 10 I will be in Albuquerque, New Mexico presenting my research along with other Honors students and professors. My presentation, in particular, will be a poster presentation on my research on soft robotics. I am so grateful that I get the chance to do something like this.

TMP Faculty Mentor Highlight |

TMP Alumni/Industry Partner Mentoring Track |
|
At the core of the Team Mentoring Program’s vision is advancing an infrastructure of support for underrepresented students pursuing STEM and pre-health majors and, ultimately, careers.
An invaluable asset to this vision, are the TMP alumni and industry partners. By now, many of them have well established and solid careers in multiple engineering, science, academic and health industries. To the benefit of TMP and more specifically, WSU students, these increasing number of alumni and partners are ready, excited, and committed to share their mentoring and professional experience, wisdom, expertise, insightful tips, and networks with our students in support of their own educational and career development journey.
As we enter the last weeks of the academic year, TMP has begun the Alumni/Industry Partner Mentoring matching process. So far, eight WSU students have been matched with alumni in engineering and health industries as well as alumni pursuing graduate, medical and other professional degrees.
“Thanks for pairing me with an awesome mentor.”
-Zakiya Pruitt | Senior | Computer Science
“…thank you for letting me be a part of your mentoring team! It's an honor to be chosen to mentor you Fidelia!”
