Mentoring Program

The Honors College Mentoring Program fosters community within the Honors College by connecting first-year students with sophomore and upper-level mentors to create inter-cohort fellowship. Students already in the program are eager to offer encouragement, show interest, give feedback, express praise, and contribute practical help to assist newcomers.

At the Honors College Orientation, students are assigned to a mentor with firsthand experience gained from one or more years as an Honors student. Mentors foster a sense of belonging through fostering a supportive environment for students academically, socially, and spiritually. These mentors act as confidants who guide mentees through the pressures of college. They understand the unique vocational combination of Honors Humanities and other degree programs and are committed to helping incoming Honors students thrive in their new environment.
