Hello hello!
As a new academic year approaches (!!!), we are preparing to welcome a new
cohort of G1s to Cambridge. As we've done for the past few years, HGSA and
the department are organizing an informal buddy system for incoming
students. Info on PALS is below, but *please respond to this email *(not
reply all) *if you are interested in / willing to be a PAL for a new G1.
Please include your G year, area of focus, and advisor (many incoming
students requested PALs with similar focus areas).*
Per Dan's description, "The point of PALS is to make sure that each
incoming G1 has a current student that they can reach out to with questions
or for advice during their first year. We’ve found that it’s really
helpful, especially in the first few weeks, in navigating the ins and outs
of the department. If you don’t want to interact with your PAL, you don’t
need to, but we want to be sure that everyone has someone they can reach
out to."
This is a low-commitment, ~chill~ way to meet and engage with new students
in our department. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to
reach out!
Thanks!!!
Annie
