Mentors Learn as Much as They Lead
All new Honors students select an Honors Mentor — an experienced and successful Honors student who will help you make your transition to FGCU and the Honors College. They meet with you throughout your first year to help ensure your success. Honors Mentors are chosen through a competitive application process and take a course to learn best mentoring practices.
Mentors embody the Elements of Honors and are eager to work with new students.
Experienced Honors students become Honors Mentors and gain valuable leadership experience.
