Mentorship & Community-Building
One-on-One With Your Mentor
All Centennials are paired with a mentor who will provide guidance, advice, feedback, and support during biweekly one-on-one meetings.
Small Group With Other Centennials
First- and second-year Centennials are assigned to a small group based on similar academic areas of interest. Together with their mentor, they will develop interpersonal skills, build long-lasting relationships, and collaborate as a team on a weekly basis.
Community Engaged Learning
In collaboration with JMU's Community Engagement & Volunteer Center (CEVC), we help Centennials establish semester- or year-long partnerships with local organizations. This allows our students to better engage with the community through meaningful service opportunities. We ensure meaningful community engaged learning through guided reflections led by trained CEVC student staff.
