The Honors Navigators Peer Mentorship Program connects first-year students and eligible second-year students with a peer mentor in the Michigan State University Honors College. Academic Scholars Program students, first-generation students, international students, and students of color are supported with additional programming offered by the ASP Advisory Council, the First-Generation Honors Association (FGHA), the Honors Students of Color Coalition (HSOCC), and the International Scholars Advisory Board (ISAB).
What is a mentor?
A mentor is an experienced student in the Honors College who connects with a small group of students for individualized support. Mentors help students succeed by sharing their personal stories & experiences, as well as challenging students to critically engage in their own experiences within & beyond the University.
Mentors participate in an asychronous training session to help them reflect on their own experiences that will support their mentees academically, socially, and professionally.
Why have a mentor?
Each semester, the goals of the program are:
As a first-year student, you don’t know what you don’t know. Your mentor can serve as one member of your support network, available to answer questions about MSU & the Honors College/Academic Scholars Program and point you in the direction of people & places that can help you succeed.
