Mentoring Opportunities

Students talking

Cardinal Collective

The Cardinal Collective pairs first year and transfer students with upper classmen to enhance their college experience. Benefits of having a peer mentor include help with navigating the college experience; help with being connected to relevant resources; and developing necessary skills to persist towards graduation.

CREAR Futuros

CREAR Futuros is more than mentorship—it’s a community where students find guidance, opportunity, and support. Through peer mentorship, academic resources, and professional development, we help students navigate college, reach their potential, and build a future they’re proud of.
