Nick Gatz, Sarah Fisher, and Ena Ganguly are in charge of the mentoring program for the LAH Class of 2018.

We are looking for a diverse group of people with different interests/campus activities to mentor a group of about 3-5 entering Freshmen.

It is a great opportunity to help freshmen get adjusted to college and make new friends.

The application has a few short questions, you don’t need to write an essay but please answer every question.

Thanks, and let us know if you have any questions!

The application can be found online here.
