We can do this together
Launch Mentors are upper-class students who can relate to what you are going through as a new member of our community. They are an integral part of Launch and will be by your side every step of the way. Through one-on-one and group interactions, this group of dedicated student leaders will be knowledgeable guides who provide you with access to the people and resources critical to your success. And, they are tons of fun, too!
