Participate in Freshmen Orientation. Mentors will contact their freshmen one week before school starts to welcome them to UT Tyler and to see if they have any questions, concerns, etc. This means that mentors will be responsible for finding out about campus activities. In order to encourage freshmen to become involved in campus life, it is necessary for mentors to be as involved in campus life as they possibly can. Mentors will be responsible for taking their group of freshmen to at least one on campus student activity per month and one on campus educational activity per semester.
Mentors are to be seen as leaders on campus.
Therefore, it is crucial that mentors conduct themselves as role models and follow the ethical standards set out for them through peer mentor training.
