Mentorship Matters

High Point University has a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion as core components of our mission and values. In an effort to provide support for prospective minority students, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion has partnered with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions’ Diversity Recruitment Board to create the Diversity Mentorship Program. The purpose of the Diversity Mentorship Program is to provide a smooth transition to college for our students in underrepresented communities by offering insight, perspectives, and resources that are complementary of the student. With the continuous belief that mentorship matters, the program will pair incoming and prospective minority students with current minority HPU students as well as provide connections with reflective faculty and staff members.

The purpose of the Science Advantage Camp (SAC) program is to prepare students for successful completion of their undergraduate degree in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) majors. Our primary goal is to prepare a more diverse population of students to actively pursue and complete a STEM post-baccalaureate degree. The program is focused on recruiting underrepresented minority participants, creating a two week pre- college summer program filled with workshops that provides the skill set and the support needed to increase student success in graduating with a degree in STEM, and finally to create and foster faculty and peer mentoring systems.
The program is focused on:

• Recruiting underrepresented minority participants
• Creating a two week pre-college summer program filled with workshops that provides the skill set and the support needed to increase student success in graduating with a degree in STEM
• Creating and fostering faculty and peer mentoring systems
