='''Priority 15: First Year Mentoring Program (2023)'''=
===Purpose:===
Students first semester of college can be an incredibly stressful time in their life. Many of the students are coming to school far away from their families, and often knowing no one. Paring students with upper class-men, and other incoming students, would allow students to make connections to people on campus before arriving. It would also provide students the ability to ask questions directly to other students who had recently been through the same experiences that will be going trough. The goal of this program would be to introduce firs year students to other students, and to try to make the transition period to college more enjoyable and relaxing.
===Strategies:===
- Pair students who are willing to be mentors with incoming students
- Change orientation groups to include more group communication before school starts
- work with on campus organizations that have mentoring program to help form a curriculum that would allow mentors to better engage with incoming students
