Get connected with a mentor
Transitioning to college life can be very difficult. Sometimes, we don't know who to ask for help or what kind of help is out there. Our mentors will help you obtain knowledge of campus and community resources, learn about campus organizations, understand the education process, encourage college success, and provide a trusting relationship. If you are interested in being paired with a mentor, please contact the foster care liaison Makaela Webb. Email - mwebb@wtamu.edu.
