Training and Professional Development

  • Make a Difference as a Mentor

    UConn Connects is a mentorship program coordinated by the Academic Achievement Center with a 30-year history of supporting students on academic notice.

    Mentors are UConn faculty, staff, graduate students and specially trained peers, who meet once a week in-person with an undergraduate student. Mentors work to build a connection that holistically supports academic success through referrals to campus resources, developing organizational skills and leaning into meaningful study strategies.
