Truckee Meadows Community College’s (TMCC) Students of Color (SOC) Mentorship Program is committed to helping guide students of color through their community college experience to graduation, transfer to a four-year institution, or transition to the workforce. The SOC Mentorship Program pairs students with faculty and peer mentors who meet with students a minimum of three times during the semester and guide them throughout their experience at TMCC until their graduation from college. Apart from developing academic skills and being provided career planning and advising, students also learn how to develop connections and a sense of belonging in the campus community. Also, as part of the informal mentoring component of the program, students can attend social events, hear from motivational speakers, and participate in culture and art workshops.
