Removing the Veil of Privilege from Mentorship
Cal Poly Pomona is among the best public universities in the West and is nationally ranked for helping students achieve economic success. As an inclusive polytechnic university, the school cultivates success through experiential learning, discovery and innovation.
Part of this dynamic student support system is peer mentoring, but with boutique, in-house programs, the school’s Academic Affairs and Student Affairs divisions often felt that they missed the large population of first-generation identifying students that could benefit most. Through the mentorship platform and team support of Mentor Collective, Cal Poly Pomona is able to sustainably support over 2,000 mentorships, an increase of over 1,200% in the number of students served.
Watch on-demand to learn the metrics and design behind Cal Poly Pomona’s successful Bronco Navigators peer mentorship program with Mentor Collective.
