EPIC Mentors

We need mentors for the EPIC (i.e., Establish relationships, Promote possibilities, Impact direction, and Confirm next steps) mentorship program. This program pairs sophomores, juniors, and seniors with first-year students to offer support as they begin their first year at St. John’s.

There are many benefits to serving as a mentor; for example, it helps build leadership skills, which are essential as students begin to consider their postcollege career. Mentors are required to

• mentor two or three first-year student mentees for one academic year.
• meet with mentees (first-year students) on an ongoing basis in person, via text, email, etc.
• attend—and encourage mentee to attend—relevant programs, meetings, workshops, and activities.
