The Jags4Jags Mentoring Program enhances the new student experience by linking first-year students one-on-one with a peer mentor. You are paired with someone invested in your success — someone ready to listen, inspire, help navigate challenges and recognize opportunities. You will learn what to expect in school, how to approach challenges, and how to start down your career path. At the same time, mentors will build their networks and develop leadership and professional skills. All incoming students are eligible to be matched with a Jags4Jags Peer Mentor.

Students will be matched with an upper-level peer mentor based on common interests, background, academics and professional aspirations. To get started, students and mentors register and complete an online survey to assess personality and experience.
Mentors and mentees are encouraged to communicate at least 2 - 4 times per month, although pairs can communicate more or less frequently depending on individual preferences. Pairs can communicate in person, via text, Zoom, Slack, and/or phone.
Jags4Jags offer 3 community building events per year for students to de-stress, connect with the peer mentors, and other students in the program.
Deadline: September 15, 2026
The Jags4Jags: Momentum program supports second-year students by connecting them one-on-one with a professional staff member or alumni mentor invested in their continued success. Students are paired with someone ready to provide guidance, encouragement, and insight as they navigate academics, career exploration, involvement, leadership development, and personal growth. The program is designed to help students maintain momentum during their sophomore year while building professionalism, expanding their networks, and developing confidence in their academic and career goals. Through meaningful mentorship, students are supported holistically and encouraged to take advantage of opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. Mentors also have the opportunity to give back to the university community while supporting the development of future professionals and leaders.
