MULTICULTURAL CENTER MENTORING PROGRAM
The Multicultural Center's mentoring program supports students from a variety of backgrounds who represent the untapped potential of our campus community. Just as there are many waterfalls and hiking trails that lead all over our beautiful campus, there are many unique trails and opportunities leading to student success, graduation, and professional life at Hanover College. OMA staff and peer mentors can help you to discover some of those pathways and encourage you to keep on track and trek personally and academically by providing you with the tools and support you will need to experience personal growth and learning in a caring and supportive environment.
