Transfer Mentorship Program
The UCLA Transfer Mentorship Program provides meaningful support, personal connections, and academic guidance designed specifically for the transfer student experience. By pairing incoming transfer students with trained mentors who understand the transfer journey, we foster a welcoming community focused on knowledge-sharing, personal growth, and mutual empowerment.
Program Values
Share Knowledge
Our mentors share essential transfer-specific insights, resources, and practical knowledge that help new students successfully navigate UCLA. This mentorship model provides an opportunity for incoming transfers to benefit directly from the experiences of peers who have walked the same path.
Create Community
We actively nurture meaningful connections among transfer students. By fostering friendships and a supportive network, students quickly feel seen, valued, and engaged as integral members of the broader UCLA community.
Empower Agency
We empower transfer students to cultivate their own agency through thoughtful mentorship and active encouragement. By enhancing students’ confidence and advocating for their unique needs, we help transfers realize their full potential and achieve their academic, personal, and professional goals.
