You can read about our large eventsin these pages; there are many new ones to choose from! Core groupevents are planned by Mentorship staff (Communication Coordinators)in partnership with their assigned mentors. Think study groups or icecream study breaks for 30-60 people. Small activities are anything yourindividual groups think up—dinner at a faculty/staff mentor’s house,partaking in the scavenger hunt, or a trip to the grocery store for supplies.Read more to learn more about how cores and mentor groups work.Finally, we encourage you to participate and attend our events andactivities as your schedule permits/at your own pace.

YOUR MENTORSHIP GROUPYour Mentorship group consists of one Peer Mentor(PM), one Faculty/Staff Mentor (FS), and 5-10new student Mentees (M) that have been matchedtogether. This is the smallest team of people withinthe program and who you will be spending the mosttime with during the semester, planning individualevents and attending program-wide events. Wealso encourage you to explore the other Mentorshipgroups in the program, especially the otherMentorship groups within your Peer Core Group,which you can learn more about below.YOUR PEER CORE GROUPThe Peer Core Group is comprised of 4 Mentorshipgroups that share one of our 7 CommunicationCoordinators (CCs) who are Mentorship staffmembers. There are approximately 50 people perPeer Core Group, consisting of the new studentMentees, Peer Mentors, and Faculty/Staff Mentors. AtKickoff, we organize participants by Peer Core Groupso it’s easier to find one another and so you can startgetting to know others in your Peer Core.Page 3

YOUR COMMUNICATION COORDINATORSCommunication Coordinators, or CCs, are experienced students who have been involved inMentorship as Mentees, Peer Mentors, or both. These student managers work to pair Menteeswith Mentors and to plan and develop the Mentorship-wide program activities. Each CCmeets regularly with current Peer and Faculty/Staff Mentors in order to maintain open linesof communication, to assist in effectively coordinating activities and opportunities for theMentees, and continually assessing and improving the overall Mentorship experience.YEAR //SeniorMAJOR //Program in the Environment,Gender & Health minorSARAHCISSELLHOMETOWN //Okemos, MIYEAR //Fifth YearMAJOR //Communication Studies,Business minorERINFOXHOMETOWN //Owosso, MIYEAR //SeniorMAJOR //International Studies,Science, Technology, andSociety MinorMELISSAGIBSONHOMETOWN //Los Angeles, CAPage 4ACTIVITIES //Leads trips for OutdoorAdventures, Student Food Co,Ann Arbor IntercooperativeCouncil, Swiping people intothe CCRB, Formally known aspurple-haired girlACTIVITIES //Volunteer at Mott Children’sHospital, Ginsberg Center’sAlternative Spring Break, WebAssistant at the Yaffe Center forPersuasive Communication,Hostess job at Aventura,Attempting to workout.

STAFF INSIGHTS: WHAT WE WISH WE KNEWWe asked the Mentorship staff to look back on their first year experiences. We asked staff “What did you wishyou knew when you were an incoming first year student?” We’ve put together their advice and suggestionsfor you so you can make the most of your first year.I wish I went to office hoursmore, especially for sciencecourses. The professorsand GSI’s answer all yourquestions but you don’teven need to prepare anyquestions to go. You canjust listen to other students’questions and review thematerial.I wish I knew about theCareer Center’s referenceletter service. It allows youto keep your reference letters in one place and thenyou can send the letters atyour convenience.// SARAHI wish I knew that textbooksaren’t always mandatoryand you definitely don’tneed to have them by thefirst day of class.As an incoming first year,I wish I knew how easytaking the bus system was. Iuse to walk or ride my bikeeverywhere, now I save a lotof time taking buses and getto see a lot more of campusand Ann Arbor.// TIFFANY// KRISTIN// HALEYRefrain from signing up forEVERY club at Festifall.You will be receiving thosee-mails for the next 4 years.// ERINCoffee cannot replace sleep.Texts to your parents arenot the same as callingthem. Late night pizza is agood idea 50% of the time.I wish I knew how long fouryears is, yet how fast it willgo. Four years is enoughtime to change your mindabout what you want tomajor or minor in, what youwant to do after college andto make decisions as yougo. Still, the four years willrush by—make sure to enjoyevery minute!// MELISSA// JESSICAPage 8
