Be a mentor

Students get a chance to help area high schoolers experience college life for a day.

The Minority High School Conference, in conjunction with College Student for a Day, pairs TCU students with Fort Worth area high schoolers to show them what a typical college school day is like. The event will take place on Sunday Feb.22 and Monday Feb.23.

According to Inclusiveness and Intercultural Services, the program is designed to help area kids piece together their future in hopes of encouraging them to pursue higher education.

The student-volunteers, who will spend the day mentoring, are required to participate in a brief training session prior to interacting with the high school students. There is one more training session tomorrow, Feb. 17. If interested, contact Amie Lewis as soon as possible at a.lewis@tcu.edu.
