Mentoring

Mentoring fosters academic and personal growth among CFES Scholars by providing them a supportive relationship with an older, more experienced individual who can serve as a role model. All CFES schools have mentoring programs for their CFES Scholars that utilize peers (including other Scholars), adults, teachers, and/or college students as mentors.
