Mentorship Experience

Mentorship is a process in which an experienced individual helps another person develop their goals and skills through on-going, supportive one-on-one conversations and learning exercises. Being a mentor allows faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the University to give back in a very meaningful way. Our mission is to connect students with a mentor who will support them in their post-secondary journey by helping them navigate the college environment and preparing them for their transition from college to a rewarding career. This mentoring program鈥檚 purpose is to provide students with support in the form of one-on-one guidance, advice and insight from a mentor who may share similar experiences.
 
As part of our ongoing commitment to maintain transparency, we would like to address some changes that will go into effect in Spring 2025.聽
 

  1. We will discontinue our use of the mentor platform starting February 28.
  2. Mentors and students who remain matched will receive an email with further details on how to meet and fulfill the mentorship requirement this semester.
  3. All UT Promise students鈥搘hether assigned a mentor or not鈥搘ill be required to complete a reflection survey to fulfill their mentorship requirement this semester. Information about the survey will be sent directly to students via email and posted to the UT Promise website.
  4. Students are still required to complete 8 hours of community service to remain eligible.
  5. The deadline to submit community service hours and complete the reflection survey is June 1, 2025.
