Thank you for your interest in the Transfer Mentor Program!

The Transfer Mentor Program (TMP) is designed to provide incoming transfer students with support in their career and academic development. Transfer Students are matched with faculty or staff members whose professional experiences match the students' academic and career interests. The program includes 1:1 meetings with these assigned mentors, and two large, mandatory, events (one at the beginning of the semester, one at the end) where transfer students will engage in professional development and develop a network of resources at TU. The guidance that students receive will enhance the overall experience for transfer students at Towson University.

Please Note these important dates when completing the form:
• Monday, 1/25 at 11:59pm: the deadline to complete this form
• Tuesday, 2/09: Required Met & Greet Breakfast from 9:00am-10:00am via Zoom
• Additionally, you will be asked to meet 1:1 with your mentor at least twice during the semester

Please provide as much information as possible in the open ended responses; it enhances my ability to find you a mentor which can best support you through your transition to TU.

I will be following up with everyone who fills out this form via e-mail with more information regarding your application status and the next steps for being involved in the program in mid to late January. If you have any questions about this application, or the program please do not hesitate to e-mail jvcummings@towson.edu; I'll be happy to help.
