Mentorship is a process in which an experienced individual helps another person develop their goals and skills through on-going, supportive one-on-one conversations and learning exercises. Being a mentor allows faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the University to give back in a very meaningful way. Our mission is to connect students with a mentor who will support them in their post-secondary journey by helping them navigate the college environment and preparing them for their transition from college to a rewarding career. This mentoring program’s purpose is to provide students with support in the form of one-on-one guidance, advice and insight from a mentor who may share similar experiences.
