The Multicultural Mentoring Program provides personal support, assistance, social guidance, and positive campus survival skills to first-year students by developing activities and interactions with upper-class students to address personal needs, thus contributing to their academic success, and enhancing the University of Tennessee’s efforts in recruiting, retaining, and graduating all students.
All students are welcome.
