About Sophomore Group
Connection | Community | Common Ground
Summer Search groups were launched in 2014 in response to student requests for more community with other Summer Searchers. During Sophomore Group, you will build relationships with the other Summer Searchers, establish expectations & group norms, and prepare for your summer experiences.
Group is scheduled by your mentor and will take place in-person (usually at your school). Group is a required part of the Summer Search program; however, we know things can get busy so you can plan to miss two groups per semester if needed. Please let your mentor know beforehand.
