PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The College of Engineering invites you to participate in one of our mentoring programs in the Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Diversity. Options available are: AHORA (Academic Hispanic OutReach Alliance), BEST (Black Engineering Support Teams), GUEST (General Undergraduate Engineering Support Teams), WEST (Women in Engineering Support Teams). OR NETS (Network for Engineering Transfer Students).

Each of these mentoring programs assist first-semester engineering students in achieving academic and personal success. The programs provide a supportive and caring environment where students can openly discuss their experiences and receive feedback.

If you decide this program is for you, you will be placed in a mentoring group of approximately 5-10 first-semester College of Engineering students with an upper-class student serving as a mentor. For the first two weeks, you will all meet as a group, providing you with the opportunity to meet other students like yourself. After the first two meetings you will have the option of continuing to meet as a group each week, meeting with your mentor one-on-one, receiving assistance through electronic mail, or deciding the program does not fit your needs. The mentoring programs are designed as such so that we can best serve the many needs of today's students.
