First-year mentors are essential guides and supporters of First-Year students as they transition into their first year at Berry. First-year mentors attend and assist with weekly BCC 100 class meetings, as well as leading their own weekly discussion section with students. Additionally, first-year mentors are responsible for community-building and outreach to first-year students through scheduling one-on-one meetings with first-year students and planning group activities for their whole BCC 100 class.
Before the fall semester begins, all first-year mentors will participate in a one-week training culminating in leading Viking Venture BCC 100 activities. First-year mentors are campus leaders and will be expected to uphold the Code of Conduct and be in good academic standing at all points of the academic year.
