Mentor Program 

Remember how you felt when you went to college for the first time, or after being out of high school for many years? Did you know what to do or who to see?

The Mentor Program connects you with a faculty or staff member who knows the campus and college system. A mentor is a friend, sponsor, supporter, listener and an encourager who will met with you for an hour, every week throughout the quarter.

See Janice Lovelace or one of the other staff at the Diversity & Equity Center and they will get you enrolled in the program and matched up with a mentor.
