Kinesiology Mentorship Program


The Kinesiology Mentorship Program pairs a new student with an upperclassman who can act as a resource for their first few months at the University of Michigan. New students and mentors will interact individually, in small groups, and in large groups through emails, phone calls, lunches, program-wide planned events, and events that they coordinate themselves. New students will have someone whom they can ask questions that may seem silly, but still need to be answered, or questions that they are not comfortable asking a staff member. Mentors will help students acclimate to the University of Michigan by providing valuable information about Kinesiology, the campus, and community by sharing their own experiences.
