The mission of the Regent International University Mentoring Program is to promote success by providing support and guidance and being positive role models for new students. The program will also provide leadership development opportunities and transferable skills to high-achieving, upper-division students serving as student mentors.
The Regent International University Mentoring Program matches high achieving students (Mentors) with new students (Mentees) to Regent International University. Each mentor and mentee should meet at least once per week online through the method they choose to discuss the transition into Regent International University. The program will last 4 weeks, but it is our hope that our mentors and mentees build relationships that last well beyond the end of the program!

Roles Along with first-hand experience in overcoming the various challenges presented by pursuing a degree online, mentors should have a passion for helping others. Mentors and their mentees communicate regularly to discuss best practices, challenges, strategies for success, and just to have fun! Mentors are matched with their mentees during their first few introductory courses. Additionally, Program Administrators are available to ensure both students are getting the most out of the mentoring relationship, offer support when needed, and answer any questions the mentors may not be able to.
