At the University of Iowa, we know that mentoring matters.

For faculty, staff, and students, building intentional connections is a top priority. As a matter of fact, based on what new undergraduate students tell us through their Excelling@Iowa transition survey their first semester, we know that creating connections with peers, faculty, and staff is one of the primary goals that many students hope to accomplish during their time as a Hawkeye. We also know through the personal stories of faculty, staff, and students on campus that mentoring relationships established at Iowa have a profound impact on both the mentor and the mentee.
