Mentors needed! Afrisnet pairs mentors with STEM undergraduate students in African countries who are navigating the US graduate program application process. This year, 100+ mentees are on the waitlist. Any grad students or postdocs interested? More info: afrisnet.org/graduateappmen….

Afrisnet is hosting an informational webinar about Stanford SURF, a fully funded summer research program that recruits undergraduate engineering students from all over the world.
