T.E.A.M. Mentoring Program
The T.E.A.M. Peer Mentoring Program is a yearlong experience for first-year or transfer students from underrepresented backgrounds. T.E.A.M. partners first-year student scholars with an upperclass peer mentor to establish a supportive relationship and aid their transition to Bucknell.
T.E.A.M. peer mentors receive extensive training and are committed to developing meaningful relationships with their scholars. Throughout the year, mentors build personal connections with first-year or transfer scholars in individual meetings and team-building activities, including interactive group events and topical discussions. Mentors, meanwhile, gain valuable experiences in leadership and service.
Why should you join?
First-year and transfer students are invited to apply to the program during the fall semester. If you choose to take part, you will:
- Get to join one of the most caring and close-knit communities on campus — one that's invested in your long-term success at Bucknell.
