ME Mentor Program

All ME students can benefit from having a mentor. The program is required of all Basic Sequence and Approved Conditional Sequence ME students. Once a student makes its to Full Major Sequence, mentoring is not longer required. Students will be emailed their mentor's contact information. It is the student's responsibility to make an appointment with his or her mentor.

Make sure you meet with your mentor each semester before academic advising which occurs in October and April of each year. Transfer and new students should notify Terrie Preusse Lear to get signed up with a mentor.
