Studies show that mentor programs have a direct, positive impact on student success in the classroom and graduation rates. When polled on the effectiveness of our faculty leadership, our students consistently identify faculty availability and support as the most positive aspect of their learning experience.
In addition to access to faculty in classrooms and labs, we offer tailored programs to engage students based on individual interests.
“I suggest you connect with at least three individuals: a person who seems like yourself, a person who is different but you trust, and a faculty, coach or staff member who can mentor you and help you begin to navigate DU. Listen to their stories, tell yours [and] learn to connect through your stories.”
Previous DU Chancellor, Rebecca Chopp
