What students are saying:

"My favorite thing about being in the program has definitely been getting the chance to get to know a staff member that I may not have previously had the chance to do so. I look forward to our time every week because I know I am going to leave feeling encouraged!" -Junior, Biology major

"I ask questions about life, masters program (school), hypothetical scenarios, etc. I’m comfortable knowing I can trust my mentor with what’s currently going on in my life." -Sophomore, Human Services major

"I have enjoyed being able to sit and talk with someone who has never met me before. It was like having a clean slate. There was never any pressure to share information about my life and I have been able to open up at my own pace." -Senior, Forensic Science major

"I have been able to pour out my feelings and receive unbiased, honest and wisdom-filled advice from a Godly woman!" -Freshman, Education major

 

  

What faculty/staff are saying:

"I became a mentor to support, encourage, be a listening ear and the biggest fan of a SWU student." -Education faculty member

"I volunteered because I wanted to be more involved in the campus community outside of the fine arts department." -Fine Arts faculty member

"I became a mentor to offer hope to those who feel like giving up.  Being able to speak truth in love is a gift worth sharing." -Alumni staff member

"I volunteered because I love to pour into students one-on-one, especially those students who invite you into their world." -Student Life staff member

"Being a mentor is rewarding. The relationship I've developed with my mentee is a two-way street. We laugh at lot and learn from each other. I highly recommend signing up to be a mentor. It really does make a difference." -Religion faculty member
