First Year Mentor Collective

SLU's First Year Mentor Collective Program enhances the student experience by linking students one-on-one with a peer mentor. Students are paired with someone invested in their success — a person ready to listen, inspire, help navigate challenges and recognize opportunities. Students will learn what to expect in school, how to approach challenges, gain career advice and valuable insights, while mentors will build their networks and develop skills to become better professionals and leaders.

Mentees: First-year students or students new to SLU School of Science and Engineering
Mentors: Sophomores, juniors, or seniors at SLU's School of Science and Engineering who have attended for at least one semester
How does the program work?
Students will be matched with a peer mentor based on common interests, background, academics and professional aspirations. To get started, students and mentors register and complete an online survey to assess personality and experience.
What do mentors and mentees discuss?
  • How will my major impact my professional options?
  • How do I balance the demands of school, responsibilities, and socializing?
