STUDENT AFFAIRS UNDERGRADUATE FELLOWS PROGRAM
The goal of this this semi-structured mentoring program is to connect students who are interested in exploring a career in Student Affairs with practitioners from the Division of Student Affairs at UGA. The Student Affairs Undergraduate Fellows Program supports career exploration, personal and professional development, and mentoring relationships through monthly meetings and opportunities to network. Mentors and fellows are paired based on professional interests and will attend monthly meetings. In addition to the formal meetings, mentors and fellows are encouraged to meet and communicate regularly outside of these meetings to meet the goals they set for their mentoring relationship.
