What is a Mentee?
Mentees are first-year students who are not participating in other university advising or mentoring programs. The
overall goal of the Mentoring Institute at California State University, Fresno
is to promote the retention and graduation of this group of first-year students. In order
to accomplish this goal, the Mentoring Institute focuses on assigning students
to Mentors, monitoring these students' academic progress and personal growth
across their educational careers, and providing students with the essential
tools needed to graduate from college and pursue graduate work.
