About and How to Apply
COMPASS is a mentorship and networking workshop for undergraduates from diverse backgrounds
interested in pursuing philosophy. Run by graduate students, COMPASS takes place over
the course of a weekend, and is designed to help introduce undergraduates to graduate
school in philosophy. The workshop combines seminar-style discussion of recent work
in philosophy with faculty-led advice panels. To see more about COMPASS, visit this

Previous Compass (Spring 2026)
Our first COMPASS workshop was held from April 10 to 12, 2026. Our goal was to invite
students from colleges and universities within the surrounding areas of New York and
Pennsylvania. We had a very successful workshop led by our postdoctoral (PRODiG+)
candidate Emilie Pagano. Our discussion leads for the 2026 workshop were Akanksha Mansukhani, Nadia Haroun-Mahdavi,
Kanika Chawla, Lanbin Feng, Mert Karaca, and Joey DeLeone.
