Mentoring, at its core, guarantees our students that there is someone who cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter. Research confirms that quality mentoring relationships have powerful positive effects on students in a variety of personal, academic, and professional situations.
