A strength of a mentorship program fitting the TSMP model is that it requires few resources and can easily be replicated at other institutions. The program was designed and directed by graduate students, with periodic faculty advising. Mentor and participant recruitment was accomplished via email and an information session during the summer before the program. While time commitment was minimal for students and mentors (approximately 10 hours over the course of the semester), it provided mentorship and peer connections for nearly half of the incoming class of transfer students to the UC Berkeley College of Chemistry. The TSMP provides a framework by which transfer students to four-year institutions, a population that often includes groups historically underrepresented in STEM, can be connected with mentors and resources to help them in their STEM educational and career pursuits.
