Eagle Mentor group

Apply to be a Mentor

Our mission is to support incoming students in their transition to CSC using peer mentors (Eagle Mentors) to aid in social development and encourage engagement in campus activities.

Goals of the Eagle Mentor Program:

  • Provide students a welcoming, friendly face on campus
  • Assist students in feeling more connected to the people, campus, and Chadron community
  • Educate and encourage students to use CSC and community resources
  • Increase student engagement in co-curricular activities
  • Increase retention from first to second year

Program Details

Eagle Mentors are CSC students who are at least a sophomore with a desire to make a positive impact on first-year students. Eagle Mentors are from a variety of majors, interests, and backgrounds, and support students by connecting with and referring them to campus and community resources.

The CSC Eagle Mentor program is one semester. Every incoming student is matched with a Eagle Mentor according to their major, hometown, and interests via a matching form. The Mentor Meet Up during Move-In gives the mentees an opportunity to meet their Eagle Mentor, exchange information, meet the other mentees in their group, and set expectations for the program. Eagle Mentors meet with their mentees to assist and encourage students by planning group or one-on-one meetings throughout the semester.

The Eagle Mentor program is not required for students, but highly recommended.  Students who have a desire to make a positive impact on incoming Eagles are encouraged to apply!
