OIL Mentorship Program
The OIL Peer Mentorship Program offers guidance and support for first year students as they transition to Carleton. Mentees will be paired up with an upper-class mentor for 1-on-1 support and opportunities to participate in skill building workshops, unique OIL-sponsored events, and social programs! OIL works to make sure students get connected to resources that help them navigate the college experience.
