SASE Rensselaer Mentor Program
The Rensselaer chapter of SASE offers the Mentor Program to incoming first-year students to help them ease into the college experience. The program provides professional and academic guidance through a select group of mentors while serving as a hub for cultural and interest-based discussions. The mentor-mentee relationships formed within the program will create stability during the transition to student life at RPI, helping first-year students find a support system crafted just for them.
This year, the program received over 100 newly accepted freshmen who were interested in becoming mentees. These students span various majors and fields, each with their own distinct backgrounds. Some of the mentees, through their mentors' recommendations, have taken further steps in expressing their interest in the SASE community by taking on executive positions as committee members and freshmen representative.
Our mentor population is a mix of RPI students who are co-term, seniors, juniors, and sophomores. Although we have more mentors whose majors are in engineering, many of the mentors in our program have a solid foundation of the sciences and humanities that complement their engineering expertise.
The SASE Rensselaer Mentors aim to provide academic and
professional support targeted towards freshmen who are
studying at RPI. The relationships formed by the mentors
and mentees ensure that mentees can achieve their full
potential with the help of their mentors.
