<p>Did anyone get a card in the mail about the mentorship program? Does anyone know what, exactly, it is?</p>
<p>yea i got that card 2. Its basically like a social group that you get put in so you can make friends easier. You do a lot of activites and what not together and the people in it might become ur best buds or w/e. It will also help you out with academic planning and if ur like interested in a career, itll hook u up with stuff....thats basically it. Im not doin it cause im already doin UROP</p>
<p>I was in mentorship this past fall...Honestly its a wonderful transition to college program where you are placed with three other incoming freshman, a peer mentor (an older student) and a faculty mentor. They facilitate the transtions social, acadmic anything that might come up. I did make one friend from it sorta two ironically the peer mentor and another one of the mentees the other kid im not sure why i wasnt better friends with them. Definately give the program a shot.</p>
<p>I'd recommend the program too if you are new to the university and the area. You do need to sign up early as the program can fill up quickly.</p>
