Virtual Mentoring Program Initiatives

CB2
In addition to the support given by the virtual mentor, first-year students are paired with a “College Buddy” on their campus. The CB2 (College Bound College Buddy) initiative pairs first-year students at an institution with an upper-level student, a VMP participant whenever possible, at that particular school. The pair meet twice a semester to discuss grades, social climate and other important factors that may be affecting that student's life. To learn more, click here.
