MENTORING
Connections – The Faculty/Student
Mentoring Program
Connections: The Faculty/Student Mentoring program, offers Westchester Community
College students the opportunity to develop a working relationship with an experienced
faculty or staff member. Faculty/staff members volunteer their time to assist students
with their academic needs, discuss student goals, and share any concerns a student
may have. By becoming an advocate for that student, offering support and counsel,
and by becoming a role model, mentors benefit from this program as much as the
students themselves. For more information, please visit
, and look
under About Student Services, where you can fill out an online application. Applications
are also available around campus and in the Volunteer Office. For more information,
