Honors Events

Faculty Mentor/Mentee Gathering

FacultyMentorGatheringThe annual SAS Honors Program Faculty Mentor/Mentee Gathering will take place at the Busch Students Center.  The SAS Honors Faculty Mentor Program provides undergraduates with access to the university's best faculty on a one-on-one basis.  Many students develop close relationships with their faculty mentors over the first and second years; mentors often invite students to meet for lunch, to participate in departmental seminars and lectures, or even to collaborate with them or with colleagues on research projects.  If you attend the gathering, your mentor will sign your Mentor/Mentee card then. If you are unable to attend the gathering, contact your mentor immediately to make an appointment. At that time begin talking with your Faculty Mentor about your plans, and ask him/her to sign the card.
