Mentor Connection The Mentor Connection program assists new students in adapting to the USD envi– ronment and making choices at the very start to maximize the benefits of the overall college experience. The program pairs up incoming freshmen with a student mentor. Each mentor is matched with 1 to 3 mentees according to similar majors, interests and/ or hobbies. The Mentor Connection program has a strong history at USD. It has been well estab– lished since the early 1980's by providing the kind of individual attention and support that students come to expect when entering an outstanding university. The program kicks off with a big "Meet You Mentor Ice Cream Social" at the begin– ning of the fall semester. From there, mentors act as guides to the multitude of programs and activities available to students. Mentors offer tips for success both in and outside of the classroom.
