Each year, a group of undergraduate mentors is selected to work with the Summer College students. The mentors are chosen on the basis of their strong academic records, their campus involvement, their strength as leaders, and their prior experience. The mentors attend classes and events with the Summer College students, share meals with them and live with them in the residence halls. Throughout the week, in formal and informal settings, the mentors talk with the visiting students about their own college selection process and about their experience on campus and help the student shape their own college plans and aspirations.
