Type of Program:  Education (Higher)

Program Description:  The University Mentoring Program is an initiative at Kent State University. Coordinated by The Student Multicultural Center, the program seeks to address the recruitment, retention and transition issues that traditionally impact underrepresented students at Kent State University. The University Mentoring Program matches faculty, staff, and graduate students with upper-class students who, in turn, serve as mentors to incoming underrepresented first-year students who share their academic and/or career interests. The program is designed to build a community of support around the freshmen students in the form of a ‘Mentoring Team’. The Mentoring Team consists of a faculty/staff mentor, peer mentor, and mentees.

Program Objective(s):  Provide opportunities for mentees to meet and share with faculty and staff mentors at Kent State University; offer opportunities for faculty/staff mentors to develop meaningful one-on-one relationships with students whom they may not have previously; provide structured experiences in and out of the classroom for underrepresented students; work to increase underrepresented student retention rates; assist mentees with adjusting to college life; assist mentees in developing a healthy level of respect and awareness for cultural diversity; encourage participation in university-wide programs and activities, which will be beneficial to the development of all involved.
