Linkages Mentor Program
The Linkages Mentor Program, which began in 2007, serves as a formal peer mentoring initiative designed to support the retention of first-generation students, students demonstrating significant financial need and other students from underrepresented backgrounds at the 91制片厂. Thomas. Our student mentors serve as a resource to help first year students successfully transition from high school to college. Student mentors are matched with new first-year students to serve as a resource throughout the academic year, sharing their institutional knowledge, experiences, and college success strategies.
By participating in this full academic year program, students build connections with peers, gain valuable knowledge about campus resources from faculty and staff, and explore a variety of topics aimed at academic, career, and personal development through monthly student success workshops.
The Linkages team consists of student leaders who serve as mentors. Mentors and mentees attend Linkages Core Workshops, and social events/activities in addition to meeting occasionally during the semester with one of the Linkages Interns. Through participation in Linkages, students receive personalized attention, academic advising, career support, and community building.
