TMCC’s Students of Color (SOC) Mentorship Program strives to match students with experienced faculty and peer mentors who will help guide students throughout their TMCC experience to graduation and successful transition to another institution or workforce. Mentees can learn a wide variety of skills from their peer and faculty mentor through connection with campus and community resources, improving academic skills, and providing professional guidance.
Our goal is to increase the likelihood that underrepresented students achieve their academic and professional goals.
