"Collaborating with Mentor Collective is the reason we were able to relaunch our First-Year Connections Mentoring Program for incoming students in their first year (1,400 mentor pairs). Our reach could not have been tripled without the support of Mentor Collective. This not only includes the amount of matches, but also the technology to track conversations between pairs and receive alerts (or flags) immediately when there are concerns from students."

"I decided to reach out to them [Mentor Collective] because they do all the work. I simply provide them with the information they need about our students and who we want to connect with, and they go to work and build the program. So I decided that it was more important for me rather than to say I did it myself to reach out to someone who knows how to do it and they know how to do it well."

Nina Lyon Bennett, Ph.D., Assistant Dean for Academics, School of Agriculture, Fisheries & Human Sciences, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff
