Want some extra support starting next academic year? Participate in the Hunter College Mentoring Program!

Hunter’s Mentoring Program pairs students with Hunter alumni and friends. Each student receives support and feedback from a mentor who has experience in the professional/academic field in which the student is interested, or who has similar life experiences and/or interests. Student mentees meet in person, remotely one-on-one, and in groups with mentors to network and receive guidance.

If you want to access the knowledge and support of a Hunter College mentor, email Theoni Angelopoulos.
