Get a Mentor (TBH Mentorship Program – Session: 01)

If you are a student, do you want guidance for choosing a bachelor’s or master’s thesis topic? Want tips for increasing your chances of success when applying to an American university? Know what fields of study and research are currently the most exciting?

TBH is proud to announce its exploratory mentorship program. Top achieving Pakistani students currently studying at US universities, as well as post-doctoral fellows, have volunteered to help students in Pakistan who are serious about achieving professional goals.

You are invited to the first session on 7th May (Tuesday, 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm, Pakistani time) in which students/post-docs at MIT and Harvard will speak about their respective fields of study and experiences. You may ask questions then and, if the match is suitable, you will be put in direct contact with a mentor after the session.
