  • Mentorship: Work with a mentor your first year, become a mentor your second year. 
  • Financial Aid Application Assistance: Dedicated support through focused application completion workshops.
  • Academic Support: Academic advising and career counseling focused on SoP students.
  • Volunteer Opportunities: Our newsletter helps you complete the required eight hours of service per term.
