Compass

Compass is a cohort-based, year-long peer mentorship program that connects incoming first-generation, lower-income, and/or undocumented/DACA (FGLI) students with trained 2nd, 3rd, 4th year student mentors. Through one-on-one meetings with a peer mentor and weekly workshops you will learn how to successfully navigate Northwestern while learning more about how the FGLI identity informs and strengthens your experiences at Northwestern.  

Compass' success is also backed by research being conducted right here at Northwestern. Check out this NU Now story featuring Compass and human development and social policy professor Mesmin Destin.
