What is Rising Scholars?
Designed to be uniquely valuable to you and work with your schedule. Meeting with a mentor is like having your own success coach. You choose the support level that works best for you to reach your academic and other personal goals. Most students meet with a mentor weekly throughout the semester, with the minimum expectation of 4 strategic sessions during the semester.
