Find a Mentor to Help You Grow

MavMentors is a year-round mentoring program at the University of Texas at Arlington that connects students, alumni, employers, and faculty/staff. The program offers two mentoring pathways:

Career Mentors – Alumni, employers, and faculty/staff who share professional insights, industry knowledge, and guidance to help students and alumni navigate career decisions and transitions.

Peer Mentors – Current UTA students who provide support, encouragement, and campus knowledge to help fellow Mavericks succeed academically, socially, and professionally.

Mentees can be paired with a Peer Mentor and a Career Mentor, giving them access to near-peer support and professional guidance. Through an online mentoring platform and in-person networking events, MavMentors emphasizes the power of connection—sharing experiences, advice, and encouragement to help Mavericks grow.
