Thank you for your interest in speaking with current Gophers! This is your chance to learn about the student experience directly from our students. If you were hoping to ask questions about the admissions process, essays, curriculum, etc., please find your admissions counselor on our Find Your Counselor page. Your admissions counselor is happy to help!
In order to meet virtually with our students, we recommend you use or create a Google mail account. Once your account is complete, please choose the student with whom you would like to connect. To set up an appointment:
The system will put the event on your calendar and the student's calendar. After, the student will reach out to you through Gmail, so please make sure you are logged into Gmail and ready to receive messages. If the tour guide doesn't have a meeting button or if you would rather just send an email, you can find student emails on their profile cards.
