Transfer Transitions Mentor Program
Page Content
What is the Transfer Transitions Mentor Program?
The Transfer Transitions mentor program matches new transfer students with a Transfer Transition Leader, a student leader in The Center for Student Success who is a transfer student. Three to four times a semester, Transfer Transitions Leaders meet with their mentees one-on-one, or with their small group (all new transfer students). At the end of every semester, the Transfer Transition Leaders will host one large event for the entire cohort of mentees.
I’ll be a new transfer student on campus this spring! Should I apply to have a peer mentor?
Yes! A peer mentor is a great resource to help ease the transition into the Southern Miss community. In the one-on-one meetings with your mentor, you will set goals for the semester, learn about campus resources, and get to ask your peer mentor questions about their experience as a transfer student. Students with a peer mentor may also get together in small groups throughout the semester. The small group structure allows new transfer students to connect and build relationships with other new transfer students.
How can I be matched with a Mentor?
