WE LOVE OUR UC STUDENT MENTORS! 🫶
Throughout the program, mentorship is a key component of what we do: building meaningful relationships with students, so they can be prepared and successful for life beyond the high school classroom!
With Students, Mentors will cover areas, such as:
Academic Planning & Goal Setting: Good study habits and building skills for self-autonomy
College Experiences and Exposure: Life on campus, what to expect, what to do, see and learn about -- both fun and academic-wise
The College Application Process: Knowledgeable tips, expectations, financial aid assistance, helpful and supportive campus organizations, etc.
