The Tarleton State University Honors Mentoring program is a student-focused and student-led program that pairs incoming college students (mentees) with mentors that are in their second or third year of college to help with the transition into college. Throughout the program, students get acclimated to the college atmosphere, gain relationships with students that share their major, and receive study assistance for their academic courses.
