The Mentor Collective Program

The Mentor Collective program enhances the student experience by linking them one-on-one with an alum or peer mentor. Students are paired with someone invested in their success — a person ready to listen, inspire, help navigate challenges, and recognize opportunities. Students will learn what to expect in school, how to approach challenges and gain career advice. At the same time, mentors will build their networks and develop skills to become better professionals and leaders.


Praxis Exams

PLACEHOLDER

The Praxis exams measure the academic skills and subject-specific knowledge needed as an educator. Students must pass the state-approved licensure exams for their endorsement area to be recommended for licensure.


Background Checks

The College of Education will provide a voucher for ONE background check per student.
