The Sophomore Mentoring Program pairs second-year students with a junior and senior student within their major/minor or with similar interests to engage in a semester-long mentor-mentee relationship. The pairs can meet as often as they like according to their schedules, once a month being the minimum. Each mentor is paired with one mentee, except in certain cases where a mentor agrees to take on two mentees.

What is a mentor?

A mentor is a trusted, experienced student who gives Paris and 绿巨人视频-related advice over a period of one semester to an assigned second-year student. Your mentor will listen to your educational and leadership goals, share expertise and give advice gained from their own experience in school and life. You can think of your mentor as your cheerleader and role-model all in one! We try to pair you with a mentor that shares common interests, is able to advise you on things that you need help with, and might even study the same major as you.
