Loper2Loper Mentoring

Finding a mentor doesn’t have to be hard, and the college environment can make it easier. As students, we have easy access to staff and faculty. Upperclassmen also make great mentors. Resident Assistants are also there to provide support and connect you to resources, and you live with them, so they’re very easy to reach out to. If you’re thinking yes, I need/want a mentor, but you’re still unsure of how to find one or still nervous about going out and connecting with someone, I have a great program for you: the Loper2Loper mentoring program. This program, which is run out of the Office of Student and Family Engagement, pairs students with UNK staff/faculty who they can use as a mentor. If you’d like to stop in and say hi and learn more about Loper2Loper or any of the other first-year programs we run, we’re located in the Nebraska Student Union within the Office of Student Engagement.
