This program is designed to help create leadership skills for students and also mentor students just starting their college career or for students still developing their college career path. This program helps fill the void of students who are intimated or prefer extra guidance from fellow students on a one-on-one basis, rather than seeking all their assistance from professors, counselors, or advisors. Our student mentors are compassionate, confident, and willing to share their personal experience in planning to become a veterinarian.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor or mentee, please email us at prevet.csuf@gmail.com
