Advocates Creating Conversations that Engage and Support Students

The ACCESS Mentoring Program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to connect with a member of UNT’s faculty or staff as well as a peer mentor. Your faculty or staff mentor will serve as a guide and resource to you over the next academic school year.

• Have fun with you!

• Assist new students in getting acclimated to campus life
• Help students understand the many resources available to them
