G.U.I.D.E. Mentoring Program

The G.U.I.D.E. Mentoring Program pairs students with faculty and staff in meaningful one-on-one relationships for academic and moral support.
​The purpose of the G.U.I.D.E. program is to provide culturally and geographically relevant mentorship and civic engagement opportunities to formally enrolled students, particularly those on developmental-to-credit tracks and those self-identified as General Studies/”undecided” majors.             

G.U.I.D.E. students have the opportunity to build professional development, leadership and life skills.  In addition, program benefits include…                      

  • Eligibility for the G.U.I.D.E. Scholarship sponsored by the United Center
  • Teambuilding and community service activities that look great on a resume
  • Career advice and networking from faculty and professionals in relevant fields
  • Finding a place to belong in the MXC family
