Scholars participate in three types of mentoring programs: Faculty Mentoring, Peer Mentoring and Industry Mentoring.
Faculty Mentors:
Every Scholar is matched with a faculty member who is teaching in the Scholar’s intended major. The Faculty Mentor Luncheon is a time to dine and chat about how classes are going and how to prepare for the semester. Students and Mentors are encouraged to meet once a month which is very useful when Scholars are planning their courses for the next semester, are search for research opportunities, or want to learn about their Faculty Mentor’s undergraduate experience. Are you interested in being a Faculty Mentor? Please email Erica D’Eramo deramo@umbc.edu

Peer Mentors:
New scholars and affiliates entering our community in a major in the College of Engineering and Information Technology can request a peer mentor in their major. Returning students are encouraged to apply to be a mentor to a new freshman or transfer student. Reach out to Morgan Lovell at mlovell1@umbc.edu to learn more!
Thank you to our 2021-2022 Peer Mentors!
Industry Mentors:
As student progress through their major, gain internship experiences and are planning for their futures, they will enroll in the Industry Mentoring Practicum (approximately junior year). Students navigate career pathways, strengths, workplace culture, and navigating the job offer. The greatest element of the practicum is the matching of Scholars with individuals who volunteer their time and expertise as Industry Mentors. Scholar and Industry Mentors meet once a month and discuss course topics, professional experiences, review resumes and provide advice for career plans.
