The Cura Personalis Mentoring program is designed to provide students from underrepresented populations an opportunity to build and strengthen relationships with faculty/staff and students across campus. Students will be assigned to a professional mentor and peer mentor. A professional mentor consists of a faculty/staff or a graduate student at Fairfield University. A peer mentor consist of a sophomore, junior, or senior currently enrolled at Fairfield University with at least a 2.5 GPA. Students will have an opportunity to become both a mentor AND mentee during their sophomore or junior year. Mentoring enhances confidence, encouragement, psychosocial support, and provides a safe space for diverse perspectives and experiences. Both mentees and mentors will have the opportunity to establish positive relationships between each other and unleash untapped potential, allowing growth to take place for all participants during the mentoring process.

Undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty/staff are encouraged to participate in the Cura Personalis Mentoring Program. If interested, please use the link provided to complete the application. Mentors will be notified in early September about their pairings.
