College Application Season has started! Our mentee and mentor, Giuliano and Joey, have been working on creating a balanced college list and filling out the Common Application this past month. We are excited to see what all of our mentor and mentees are working on thus far!

This past week, we held a college list workshop presented by our Resources Co-Chairs, Michael and Malina. We appreciate all our mentors and mentees who were able to attend this workshop and are excited to see everyone build their college lists!

All Uchange mentees are sent free swag to help motivate them through the college application process! This past week a few of our mentees received their merch, and we’re so happy that they enjoyed the gifts!

[Uchange Scholars @uchangescholars]

This past weekend we had the opportunity to have guest speaker, Nancy Benton, host a workshop about applying to colleges! It was so unique learning about what college recruiters are actually looking for, and we're glad our mentors and mentees had the chance to gain this insight!

[Uchange Scholars @uchangescholars]

See what our mentors Leticia and Noah have been working on! Besides working on researching colleges and filling out the college spreadsheet that Uchange Scholars has provided, our mentors have been researching colleges with their mentees to see if they should take the ACT or SAT

[Uchange Scholars @uchangescholars]

The most rewarding part of what we do is seeing our mentees reach their academic goals! We’re insanely proud of our mentee, Melissa, and her mentor, Jenna Muhametkhan. We’re excited to see what our mentees accomplish moving forward! 🎉 #mentoring #university #education
