Graduate Coding Mentors

Use this form to request a meeting with one of our graduate coding mentors. Weekly office hours are planned to resume in Fall of 2025.
While any of our mentors can probably help you with your coding problem, a few of their specific skillsets are highlighted below.
If you are interested in being a graduate coding mentor, please contact Alice Carter. You will gain great experience, and you will be paid for your time!
