Regents Connect

“One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.” John C. Maxwell

Mission: this mentor program connects Rockford University alumni with Rockford University students to increase student success and retention by building a mutually-beneficial relationship between alums and students. Mentors provide support so students are equipped to graduate successfully from the university.

Alums of Rockford University and mentees are recruited on a rolling-basis. Alums can express interest in becoming a mentor by filling out the volunteer form at the top of this page. Alums will be contacted and connected with a student who shares a field of study, a home geographical location, or an interest in a particular career.
