Mentor Recruitment Session

You are personal invited to serve as a mentor in The Lauro Cavazos & Ophelia Powell-Malone Mentoring Program (Mentor Tech) for the 2017-2018 academic year. Since 2002, Mentor Tech has assisted more than 3,200 students in their academic, social and cultural adjustment at the Texas Tech and Lubbock communities. The program matches the student with caring faculty, staff members, and graduate students from Texas Tech University and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Our objective is to ensure that each student participant knows that he or she has someone to whom they can count on for encouragement, direction, and support, as they endeavor to navigate the university settings. More than 1,000, participating students have earned degrees from TTU and TTUHSC over the last ten years. The program was recently featured in The Education Trust's report: "Rising Tide II: Do Black Students Benefit as Grad Rates Increase?"


To serve as a mentor you need not have specific expertise or be of any particular ethnicity, as we currently have mentors of various educational, cultural and ethic backgrounds. We simply ask that you have the willingness to help our students succeed. Additional information regarding the program is available on our website: www.mentortech.ttu.edu.
