Humanities and Social Sciences Peer Professionalization Groups

The Peer Professionalization Group (PPG) is a peer mentoring program which pairs small groups of graduate students from related fields who are interested in actively developing their professional and career plans. This program combines monthly small group meetings with large on-campus and off-campus events each semester to provide a format that is flexible for the busy schedule of graduate students.
