Mission
Monarch 2 Monarch "First Generation Edition" is a new extension of the mentorship program, Monarch 2 Monarch, specifically designed for first-generation and transfer students. Monarch 2 Monarch originally targeted incoming freshmen looking for a place to call home. While both of these programs share an identity, they differ in certain aspects. The mission of the First Generation Edition is to serve undergraduates, specifically: freshmen and sophomores in their transition to the university. This program will pair freshmen and sophomores with a specific upperclassman who can identify the challenges and opportunities of a first-generation and transfer student.

Mission
"Leadership is influence."

The Monarch 2 Monarch mentoring program is designed to cultivate the monarch mind by creating scholastic peer-to-peer relationships among incoming and upperclassmen monarchs.

The Monarch 2 Monarch mentoring program will grant freshmen students the opportunity to receive additional assistance while transitioning into college by being assigned an upperclassman mentor. The purpose of this program is to create peer-to-peer relationships among freshmen students and upperclassmen so freshmen are able to feel more comfortable being in their new monarch territory. This will be a voluntary program for both those who wish to become a mentor and those who wish to get mentored.
