Creating a Program Landing Page on Your Website

A program website is where mentors and mentees can go to learn more about the program, determine eligibility, register, and get questions answered. 

Having a dedicated landing page housed on your institution’s website not only provides a centralized hub for program information and resources, but also establishes trust with your students that your institution supports your new initiative with Mentor Collective. 

Inspiration & Examples

The Mentor Collective Program

The Mentor Collective program enhances the student experience by linking them one-on-one with an alum, industry, or peer mentor. Students are paired with someone invested in their success — a person ready to listen, inspire, help navigate challenges, and recognize opportunities. Students will learn what to expect in school, how to approach challenges and gain career advice. At the same time, mentors will build their networks and develop skills to become better professionals and leaders.

How it Works 

Students will be matched with an alum, industry or peer mentor based on common interests, background, academics, and/or professional aspirations. To get started, students and mentors register and complete an online survey to paint a holistic picture of their interests and experiences.

What do Mentors and Mentees Discuss?

  • How will my major impact my professional options?
  • How do I balance the demands of school, responsibilities, and socializing?
  • How can I set myself up for academic, social, and career success?
  • How do I make connections with peers and professional contacts?

Participant Testimonials 

If your specific program has previous participant written testimonials, Mentor Collective highly recommends highlighting them on your landing page. Review the Community Page for previous program written testimonials that are approved for marketing purposes. 

If your program does not have previous testimonials, you are welcome to use any of the following:

How Has Having a Mentor Helped You? 

  • “[My mentor] helped me answer the question of how to form strong relationships with my professors by giving me an actionable strategy to having strong, purposeful visits to their office hours.”
  • “I'm really excited to have someone there for me. It's nice knowing that I'm not completely alone and hopefully can be someone I can reach out to if I'm having a hard time in school or other activities.”
  • “My mentor has been an amazing help in my life; he makes me realize and see things more clearly. Sometimes it's in front of your face but [you] can't see [it] until someone puts it into words for you.”

Why Did You Want to Be a Mentor? 

  • “I'm volunteering to mentor because I've been fortunate enough to have mentors who guided me throughout my academic and professional careers & I feel like I am finally able to give back.“
  • “I would like to give back and help current students achieve their goals; sometimes, all it takes is a simple conversation.”
  • “I have personally benefited from the help of some great mentors, both in my personal life and academic/career life. At my first real job after college, I was assigned a mentor on my first day that has been nothing but supportive and helpful to me as I embarked on a new journey. Mentorship has been a very valuable asset to my life and career so far. I believe it is my duty to also give back like the mentors who have been part of my success so far.“
