We're all in this together.

The Jags4Jags Mentoring Program enhances the new 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. Learn how Jags4Jags can help you »

The Benefits of Mentorship

Mentorship has real benefits on our students, hear from them below. 

Encouragement & Support for Growth & Improvement

 

“[My mentor] helped me answer the question of how to form strong relationships with my professors by giving me an actionable strategy to having strong, purposeful visits to their office hours.”

Guidance/Collaboration 

 

“I'm really excited to have someone there for It's nice knowing that I'm not completely alone and hopefully can be someone I can reach out to if I'm having a hard time in school or other activities.”

Lifelong Connections

“My mentor has been an amazing help in my life; he makes me realize and see things more sometimes it's in front of your face but can't see until someone puts it into words for you.”

Building a Professional Network

“I'm volunteering to mentor because I've been fortunate enough to have mentors who guided me throughout my academic and professional careers & I feel like I am finally able to give back. “

Help in Becoming a Leader

"I would like to give back and help current students achieve their goals; sometimes, all it takes is a simple ”

Receiving Useful Feedback on Behavior 

"I have personally benefited from the help of some great mentors, both in my personal life and academic/career At my first real job after college, I was assigned a mentor on my first day that has been nothing but supportive and helpful to me as I embarked on a new journey. Mentorship has been a very valuable asset to my life and career so far. I believe it is my duty to also give back like the mentors who have been part of my success so far.“
