What is a UVU Mentor?

UVU Mentors support their instructors by aiding in the planning and facilitation of their classes, as well as actively provide engaging opportunities to their students by leading group and individual self-discovery activities. The UVU Mentors motto is "Students Helping Students".

A mentor is a support, a friend, and a resource to students on their path to lifelong success.
