Student Affairs Mentoring Programs

 

What are mentoring programs like at NAU?

NAU offers mentoring programs catering to a wide variety of students. Each mentoring program provides a guide who offers support and reflection during a time of personal growth and transition. Topics can focus on classroom engagement, campus resources, or community involvement. Mentoring also encourages behaviors that support academic success, self-discovery and personal  development. These programs help students gain skills that provide a foundation for success while building supportive relationships with peers and staff.
