Apply to Be a LAHSC Mentor

Leave a reply

It’s that time of the year again, and we’re not talking about finals: we’re here to ask for volunteers to be mentors to our incoming 2011-2012 LAH freshman class. Help freshmen navigate the craziness of their first year by providing support and some social activities!

We know that everyone is crazy-busy with end-of-the-year exams and general ridiculousness, so the application process is fairly easy. All you have to do to apply is fill out the mentoring application  by July 1, 2012.

If anyone has problems with the link or the application, email Sam Naik  (s.naik@utexas.edu).
