Mentor Program
Mentors are a resource and support to first-year students
Mentors serve as a tremendous source of support to first-year students.
The students that comprise the mentor program have diverse fields of study, backgrounds, interests and are involved in many different leadership activities across campus. One thing they have in common is a commitment to helping each and every first-year student make a successful transition to DePauw. They recognize that this transition can be challenging at times, and they want to play a part in connecting the newest members of our community to resources that can be supportive during that transition process.
First-Year Experience

Incoming students are required to attend orientation in its entirety. More information will be provided this summer with arrival information and the new orientation schedule.
