SOAR Mentorship Program
Meaningful Connections
We connect first-year and sophomore students with a mentor who shares the same affinity! Mentors may be Hartwick staff, faculty, alumni, or peers.
Our Goal
The goal of the program is to eliminate the graduation gap. We want to connect students to meaningful and lasting mentorship relationships that will aid them on their path to success.
