PRLACC's METAS program is currently looking for students to apply to be a mentor for the 2017-2018 academic year! We welcome all students to apply to this exciting and growing peer mentoring program: tinyurl.com/METASmentor2017. The deadline for applications is Sunday, February 26. Applicants will be invited to interview between February 27 - March 10. Selected mentors are required to attend a retreat on Friday, March 31.
The METAS Program (Mentoring, Educating and Training for Academic Success) is designed to assist first-year and transfer students with their college transition by pairing them with a peer mentor who provides guidance and support throughout the mentee’s first year at UConn. Benefits to participation include learning about resources and opportunities at UConn, attending educational, cultural, and social events sponsored by the Puerto Rican/Latin American Cultural Center (PRLACC) as well as other departments throughout campus, and meeting other students who are going through the same experience.
Our goals are: to enhance Latinx student retention; to create a strong sense of community; to provide leadership opportunities; and, to provide a support system for Latinx first-year and transfer students as they transition into college life.
