Upstate Student to Student Advising Program (USSA) connects current Upstate students to undergraduate and high school students to advise them on their path to health careers, graduate or medical school, and potentially recruit them to the different programs at Upstate.

The USSA program strives to:

• Offer mentorship to prospective, future healthcare professionals through genuine connections to current Upstate students
• Inform high school or undergraduate students’ decision-making with the experiences and advice of their graduate mentors
• Provide support, mentoring experience and guidance to Upstate students serving as advisors
• Connect current Upstate students with undergraduates from their alma maters
