Mentors Needed

The Title V Cooperative Grant - Latino Center for Excellence is looking mentors. Graduate students are needed to mentor undergraduate Latino students at GSU and undergraduate students are being sought to provide guidance to Learning Community Cohort students from Morton College.

Graduate Mentor requirements include current enrollment in a graduate program; a GPA of 3.0 or higher; an excellent academic attitude; enthusiasm to share your experiences; and the willingness to commit your time and effort to assist others. Students selected as mentors will receive support and training from the Latino Center for Excellence.

GSU undergraduate student mentors participate in the SEEDS Peer Mentor program at Morton. They receive training to encourage, advise, and guide community college students to earn their degrees. Mentors serve as role models and assist their students in the transition to college life.

Applications are available at the GSU Latino Center for Excellence (A2133). Applicants must meet specific qualifications and mentoring requirements, but need not be members of an LCE cohort, a participant in LCE programs, or speak Spanish.

Make a difference in someone’s life today. For information, contact Carlos Cantu at 708.235.4553 or Monica Teixeira at 708.235.7609.
