Mentoring


Big Sibling Program

Every year, a select group of Honors College students apply to be Big Siblings to incoming Honors College freshmen. Each Big Sibling is grouped with a few incoming freshmen and introduced during New Seawolf Welcome Week. Over the course of the academic year, the Big Siblings act as a resource for their incoming Honors College freshmen, "Little Siblings", and they help to ease the college transition. The Honors College is truly a family and the Big Sibling Program welcomes new Honors College students with open arms!

Meet Some of Our Big Siblings!
