About

‘So that everybody, everywhere, has somebody, somewhere, they can turn to.’

We want every student on every campus to feel like they have somewhere to turn – a relatable and approachable adviser who has been in their position and knows how to help. We match students with mentors based on shared experiences, whether they’re academic or pastoral, creating efficient and beneficial support networks that can be accessed wherever and whenever they need it.
