OUR MISSION
The mission of The Smeal Student Mentors is to provide guidance and support to incoming first-year Smeal students by actively engaging, leading by example, and demonstrating our ability to be both a friendly face and an effective resource.
We, the Smeal Student Mentors, aim to create the easiest adjustment possible for our first-year students.
