Mentor/Partner Program

Are you feeling apprehensive about your first semester at UT? Are you wondering if you will be able to find your classes, the best spots to park on campus, or the right places to go when you need assistance? The Mentor/Partner Program can help!

This program aims to help newly admitted adult students feel more at ease on campus by connecting them with a more experienced adult student who can answer basic questions regarding the University. Mentors and Partners may choose to communicate via email, phone, or meet in person. The means and frequency of communication are agreed upon by the Mentor and Partner, and those arrangements are left up to the student participants.

Please note: We strive to pair Partners with Mentors who have similar academic interests, but we are not always able to do so, depending on the availability of the Mentor volunteers.

If you are interested in requesting a Mentor, please contact us at (865) 974-4504, or visit our office in 413 Student Services Building. You may also complete the Partner Application form online.
