About the Fellowship
E.E. Just Graduate Fellows are established members of the Dartmouth graduate community who serve as near-peer mentors and role models for undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the E.E. Just Community. Working in collaboration with the Director, Graduate Fellows design and facilitate E.E.
