Welcome New Albers Students!

The purpose of the New Student Mentor Program is to connect you with peer mentors who are junior and senior business and economics students. New Student Mentors help you get involved on campus to find community and foster a sense of belonging. Your peer mentor also supports you in your academic journey if you need advice on how to study for college-rigor courses, which business major to declare, future careers, which student clubs to get involved in, and anything else you might have questions about!

You are encouraged to lean on your peer mentor as the first point of contact for support and guidance as you transition to college. Let’s get involved and stay connected!

Albers Contest of Engagement (ACE)

New Albers students are invited to participate in ACE by getting involved in SU and Albers activities to enhance your fist-year experience. Activities may include, but not limited to, joining student clubs on campus, attending Albers executive speaker series, or participating in New Student Mentor programming. Check out our ACE webpage for more details!
