LINKS Mentor Program
Adjustment to Cal Poly can be difficult on a number of levels - academically, emotionally, and financially. After all, you'll be coming to a new town, a new home and a new school with new expectations all at the same time. As an SSS First Year student, you will be matched with an upperclassman as well as other first year SSS students from your own college.
Your mentor will show you the town, help you meet new friends, and show you the ropes of life at Cal Poly! Think of your mentor as your personal tour guide in a foreign land! You will meet with your mentoring group once a week during the fall quarter, every other week during winter quarter, and enjoy monthly activities with your new friends throughout spring quarter!
Your mentor has the experience and knowledge to help you navigate the challenges of your new life at Cal Poly. You'll also make life long friends that share your interests and goals! Contact an SSS Advisor if you are interested in participating.
Orientation Course
In participation with the campus "First Year Experience" SSS offers a Fall quarter orientation and study skills course.
The goals of this course are to teach and enhance university learning skills and to facilitate the transition from high school to a successful college lifestyle.
