Who can be a mentor? FYE Mentors are specially selected UConn students from across the University’s schools and colleges ranging in class rank from Sophomores to Seniors. These students are given a unique opportunity to mentor an FYE class with a faculty or staff member.
What does a mentor do? FYE Mentors play key roles in assisting first-year students with the transition to UConn. As FYE mentors, students gain leadership, teaching, communication, peer counseling, planning, and presentation skills. Mentors work cooperatively with instructors to serve as role models for first-year students. Potential FYE Mentors should be genuinely concerned with needs of new students and actively seek to aid them with their successful transition to the University.
When are applications due? FYE Mentor applications for the 2019-2020 school year are due TODAY- February 15th 2019 before 5:00PM
