ABOUT

We're All in this Together

The Jags4Jags Mentorship Program enhances the student experience by linking first-year students one-on-one with a peer mentor. Students are paired with someone invested in their success — a person ready to listen, inspire, help navigate challenges and recognize opportunities. Students will learn what to expect in school, how to approach challenges, gain career advice and valuable insights, while mentors will build their networks and develop skills to become better professionals and leaders. 

Areas of support include:

  • Access to campus support services
  • The purpose and benefits of utilizing a professor's office hours
  • Finding meaningful social outlets
  • Finding ways to become engaged on campus (research, internships, etc.)
  • How to best manage your time
  • Maximizing your college experience, ensuring development both academically and socially 

How it Works

Students will be matched with a peer mentor based on common interests, background, academics and professional aspirations. To get started, students and mentors register and complete an online survey to assess personality and experience.
What do mentors and mentees discuss?
  • How will my major impact my professional options?
  • How do I balance the demands of school, responsibilities, and socializing?
  • How can I set myself up for academic, social, and career success?
  • How do I make connections with peers and professional contacts?
