Mentor Program

MERREC's Mentor Program seeks to provide an opportunity for our educators of color to enhance their educational experience here at Virginia Commonwealth University. We aim to connect our current students with faculty, staff, or alumni from within the School of Education to create relationships which will successfully increase retention among our future educators of color.

We accept both Mentor & Mentee applications year-round. To apply, please fill out our Google Form, and you will be contacted by a MERREC representative in 1-2 weeks.
