Mentorship Program
The Department of Ecology and Conservation Biology Committee on Climate, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (CDEI) has a Student Mentoring and Guidance Program. This program is for students majoring in ECCB as well as the ESSM and WFSC legacy degrees and is not intended to take the place of our academic advisors. These volunteer mentors are available to help you with questions or problems related to academics, careers, graduate school, or problems affecting your time at Texas A&M University. Feel free to contact whomever you feel most comfortable talking to or who you think can give you the needed advice.
