Meet Your Student Mentors
First-Year Mentors serve as tremendous sources of support to students.
Each First-Year Seminar has an upper-class student leader - called a Mentor - who works with the students in the seminar outside of the classroom. Mentors promote the intellectual, social and personal development of first-year students during their entire first year at DePauw.
