Current pharmacy student mentoring
The mentorship program is an opportunity for you to be mentored by a second-year student and faculty advisor. It is a non-threatening way to transition into the program and get out in front of the curve. Mentorship is about having a caring relationship with someone who's been in your shoes and can support, teach, and befriend you through the process of becoming a pharmacist. It acts as a catalyst for your academic success. Your well-being and overall program experience are enhanced as well. It is completely voluntary for both mentors and mentees, so everyone that participates wants to be there. It is also informal, so it becomes whatever you make it!

"We are not on this journey alone! Networking with mentors helps us academically and professionally. Fellow students help with different study ideas and faculty members advise us with career paths."
Shaun Christian, Class of 2022
"Having a peer mentor gives you someone that has gone through everything you are going through to help guide you and put you in a great position to be successful in the program. It is also beneficial to have one-on-one time with a member of faculty to address concerns and questions."
Christian Atkinson, Class of 2022
"An instructor gives you a hammer to hit down the nail, but a mentor is experienced and shows you how to better use it."
Daniel Enox, Class of 2021
"Upperclassmen have already been there and done this and can give the tips and tricks needed to be successful."
