Participation
The First-Year Experience Office will send out an email asking for faculty, staff, or alumni members who are interested to email studentsuccessga@campbell.edu expressing their interest.
Duration of the Program
Mentors will be paired with at least one mentee for the duration of one year based on major, hobbies, career, or shared cultural experiences. You will be expected to meet with your mentee(s) at least four (4) times throughout the academic year. We will have additional programming throughout the year that is not required but highly recommended. These events will be an opportunity to build community.
Training
Mentors will attend a one day training seminar on effective strategies for mentoring. Mentors will also be supported throughout the academic year with a monthly newsletter from the First-Year Experience Office.
