La Familia Mentoring program was established in 2000 to assist
Hispanic/Latino/a first year students as well as transfers with
their college transition by providing one-on-one guidance and
support through the use of peer mentors. The program helps fill the
gap of support system by providing mentees with academic and network
support.
We are currently accepting Mentor and Mentee applications for the
2009-2010 academic school year. As a La Familia Mentor, you will be
able to serve as a role model to incoming Hispanic/Latino/a
first-year students, attend events with your mentee throughout the
year, make recommendations about the many resources available on
campus, be an academic support for your mentee, and have fun! As a
La Familia Mentee, you will be able to explore the campus with
one-on-one guidance, attend events with your mentor throughout the
year, use the many resources available to you on campus, engage in
other cultures and backgrounds, and have academic support.
