Transitioning to College
The transition to college is a new experience, it can present a few challenges and maybe even some confusion. Illinois Tech’s first-year mentors are here to help incoming first-year students through that transition.
First-year mentors lead small groups of incoming students and introduce them to useful resources at Illinois Tech. New students participate in discussions and events with their mentors throughout the academic year. Students may meet with their first-year mentors on an individual basis or as a group. By participating in these activities, first-year mentors will empower students to become more self-aware and engaged while navigating their first year at college.
