About Us

The Texas Wesleyan University Mentorship Program originated in the spring of 2005 as part of the Texas Wesleyan University Retention Plan.  The program began as a mentorship between faculty and staff matched with incoming freshman.  Approximately seventy faculty and staff volunteered their support and were matched to the students by comparing personal interests, hobbies, and majors.  In fall of 2008, Wesleyan began offering the Mentorship Program for the new transfer students.

The decision to offer the Mentorship Program to the transfer students was a direct result of transfer students asking to be part of the Program.  Wesleyan listened, and thus the Mentorship Program was expanded to include our transfer students.

Through one-on-one relationship building and guidance from volunteer faculty, staff and upperclassmen mentors, it is the program's goal that as many incoming students as possible make a smooth transition from high school to college or 2 year-college to a 4 year-college. Such guidance provides a solid foundation for our freshmen and transfers and affords the opportunity for them to be successful students throughout their entire college career.
