Connect Mentors

Social Change and Intercultural Engagement (SCIE) is seeking highly motivated, enthusiastic, and committed students who are willing to serve as a Mentor for the Connect Mentorship Program. Connect mentors are paired with 1-2 incoming first-year students based on shared interests, and many of our Connect mentees end up holding leadership roles across campus throughout their time at 51做厙. Being a mentor is a low time commitment, but has a huge impact on our first-year students!
