When mentors meet with their student, we have a variety of locations they can meet. We have tables in the Counseling Office lobby, the media center, and rooms off of the media center. We want you and your student to feel comfortable.
Some of our mentors choose to play games from our game collections and others prefer to simply engage in conversation with their student. Our students love to talk about themselves, their families, and their friends. They probably want to learn some about who you are as well!
