UM CONNECT

UM CONNECT matches incoming freshmen with an upperclassmen mentor. The program serves as a vital component to students’ academic and personal success. Through email, social media contacts, monthly scheduled events, and 1:1 meetings, CONNECT Mentors provide additional support to help students complete their first year at the University and remain on a course toward graduation.

Are you an incoming freshman that wants to be paired with a UM CONNECT Mentor? Please email Robert Fleming at rdflemin@olemiss.edu for more information. 

Are you a current Sophomore, Junior, or Senior who would like to serve as a CONNECT Mentor for incoming/current freshmen? Please email Robert Fleming at rdflemin@olemiss.edu for more information. 

Applications for the 2023-2024 cohort of mentees will be made available in August 2023. All students are welcome to apply.
