The graduate and professional students will advise undergraduates in similar fields and help them make informed decisions about their education and career plans.
The majority of the mentorship process will take place through e-mail, minimizing the time commitment involved.
"The program is for undergraduate students who have ambitions for the future, but who aren't quite so sure about which graduate school is right for them," said GPSF President Thad Woody.
The interactions between mentors and undergraduates will aim to give the latter a realistic impression of what life is like in graduate school.
Woody said he hopes the information undergraduates receive from mentorship will be more beneficial than information students gain from reading graduate school catalogs.
Rhonda Litterer, a sophomore biology major who is exploring options for post-undergraduate study, said she would consider participating in the project.
"The mentor program sounds like a good idea," she said. "It would give you a better idea of what you would be doing if you chose to continue your education."
The GPSF has also received positive response from potential mentors.
"I've had tremendous interest with graduate students who are excited about the possibility of interacting with undergraduates," Woody said.
