The Rams First Mentorship Program is a peer-to-peer mentoring program designed to provide TXWES freshmen and current students with meaningful relationships with faculty and staff at Texas Wesleyan University. Our goal of the Rams First Mentoring Program is to provide all students with the knowledge, confidence and tools to grow their network and advance in their career endeavors.

 

Mission Statement

The Rams First Mentoring Program at Texas Wesleyan University is dedicated to fostering student success by connecting first-year and current students with faculty and staff mentors. Through guidance, support, and meaningful connections, our mentors provide fresh perspectives, normalize challenges, and empower students to navigate their academic and professional journeys with confidence. By encouraging open dialogue and serving as sources of inspiration, we strive to cultivate a supportive community that enhances personal growth and achievement.

Social Engagement

Mentors in the Rams First Mentoring Program assist new students in finding campus activities and resources that align with their needs and goals. Mentors and mentees can also participate together in social, academic, and service events throughout the year.

Academic Support

Mentors in the Rams First Mentoring Program help new students discover essential campus departments and resources, such as the Academic Success Center and the Engage Studio. They serve as personal guides through the challenges of adjusting to the academic rigor of college life and offer tips on studying, time management, and goal setting.

Leadership Growth

Mentors assist their mentees in navigating on-campus leadership opportunities, including service-learning projects, student organizations, mentorship programs, and other forms of campus engagement that foster both academic and personal growth. They also encourage mentees to take part in the leadership certificate program, which focuses on developing leadership skills.
