Mentor Collective

Find your mentor

Let's face it: college is challenging! It helps to talk with someone who has been in your position. Join the Mentor Collective to connect one-on-one with another scholar. Through the Mentor Collective, you’ll be paired with an upperclassman who can show you the ropes at IU. Mentors are invested in your success, ready to listen and inspire. You will learn what to expect in school and gain career advice and valuable insights, all while building your network and developing professional and leadership skills.

How it works

If you’re a freshman, you’ll be matched with a mentor who will support you as you begin your journey at IU. If you’re an upperclassman, you’ll become a mentor and will share your knowledge and experience. For each scholar, this is a special opportunity to grow, build connections, and develop strategies that will impact your college career.

You will be matched based on common interests, background, academics, and professional aspirations. To get started, register and complete an online survey. The Mentor Collective will then connect you with another student to facilitate conversations between mentors and mentees.

Mentors and mentees may discuss topics such as:

How do I get involved at IU?
How do I balance school, work, and having fun?
Where can I meet new people and build my network?
What can I do to prepare for a career?
