Good News! You don’t have to make it through Eastern alone!

Are you a freshman or first year transfer student looking for a mentor or know someone who could use one?

It’s still not too late! Eastern University’s new E.N.D.U.R.E. Mentoring Program is extending an invitation to you and your friends to join this new and building program. You will volunteer to participate with a variety of other students who have also sought the guidance of a mentor.

How does the mentoring program work?

Freshman and first year transfer students are paired with upperclassmen. Upperclassmen are paired with faculty, staff, administration, or alumni. "mentee" and mentors will meet at least once per week and work toward meeting their goals for the semester. Mentors and "mentees" will meet at least once per week and work toward meeting their personal mission statement goals for the semester.

How is a mentor selected?

We pair mentors and "mentee" based on common ground and interests: same ethnic background, campus activities, hobbies, etc. "mentee" may request one-on-one or group mentoring sessions.

Do I have the option of requesting a mentor outside my ethnic group?

Absolutely! "mentee" are at liberty to request a mentor outside his/her ethnic group at any time.

What do I have to do to sign up?

Click on the application link that suites you or come to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 2nd Floor, Heritage House. You will be given an application and a mentor will be selected for you.

What if I am not a person of color and want to be involved with ENDURE.

Although the program is designed for Eastern students of color, we are open to exploring options of incorporating others as both mentors and "mentee".
