Other Frequently Asked Questions
Prospective mentors and mentees receive an email invitation in July. After completing a survey about themselves and their backgrounds, Mentor Collective matches pairs based on what both say are most important to them. Mentors must also complete an online mentor training. It’s short but informative.
The matching timeline is based upon a desire to make the best match between Transfer2Transfer mentees and mentors. Every effort is made to match mentees and mentors as soon as possible. It may take some time as recruitment occurs over several weeks. We thank you in advance for your patience.
Spots are limited; so we strongly encourage you to sign-up when you receive the email invitation.
For incoming transfers, if you are not matched with a mentor this year, there are many support services available and many ways to get involved. For prospective mentors, if you are not matched this year, you can sign up again next year. We always need volunteers!
Mentors
In addition to supporting a fellow student, as a mentor, you’re building a marketable skill set, including improved interpersonal communication, increased confidence, and motivation tools. You won’t be “going this alone.” Mentor Collective offers training and support. UNCG provides additional information regarding resources and support. We have your back! This is a learning and growing experience for you as well as your mentee(s). You have an opportunity to refresh and reinforce your use of student support services. We recognize your position as a fellow student, and you are also encouraged to use UNCG’s resources in support of your academic goals.Mentees
You gain a listening ear. There are many resources available on campus from academic advisors to professors to counselors to numerous support offices. Your Transfer2Transfer mentor serves a different role. They have the student viewpoint. They have been where you are, and they understand that transferring is a process. It’s a transition. You’ll have an opportunity to make early connections on campus. We know that community is important. Learn what communities exist and how you can get involved.No; participating the Transfer2Transfer mentoring program has no associated costs to either the mentor or the mentee.
