Mentors play an essential role in assisting first-year students in building a professional network, gaining confidence in a new academic environment, and exploring various paths and opportunities. They serve as role models for their student mentees, and together they create a meaningful partnership.
To ensure optimal pairing, students are matched with mentors at the beginning of the Fall semester based on their preferences and interests. The mode of communication between mentors and student mentees can be via phone, video calls, or in-person, depending on what best suits their relationship.
If you’re a Bucknell University alumni interested in participating as a mentor in this program, please reach out to Experiential Learning for more information.
