Mentor Application Information

Thank you for your interest in the Connector’s Experiential Learning Mentorship Program. Applications are now closed. Please check back in the fall for information about our AY 2023-2024 program.

The Connector’s Experiential Learning Mentorship Program (ELMP) matches first-year
undergraduates in CAS with a sophomore, junior, or senior CAS student mentor for a
semester’s worth of programming focused on putting your Arts & Sciences education into
action.

In addition to helping first-year students access experiential learning opportunities on- and off-
campus, the program offers mentors and mentees the chance to work together on an EL
project of their own that will have a real impact on the community. For Spring 2023,
participants will be collaborating with their peers and CAS administrators on the design and
development of the A&S Connector, actively contributing to the implementation of this
emerging resource.
