When getting started in the college enrollment process, you may find yourself with many questions. That’s why Full Sail offers campus mentors to help new campus students navigate their way through the enrollment process in the lead-up to their first day of classes.

How the Campus Mentor Program Works

As soon as a new student’s application is processed, they are assigned a campus mentor who will check in via email, text, or phone call to answer questions and provide the student with focused, one-on-one support.

“As soon as the student expresses interest and connects with our team, a mentor takes the student under their wing and immediately jumps into action,” shares Director of Campus Admissions Brandon Gibbs.

Benefits of the Campus Mentor Program

While students and their families benefit from the direct and dedicated support of their mentor, they will also work with other members of the admissions and enrollment teams to focus on logistics like adjusting degree choice or start dates, required assessments, and financial aid.

“The goal of the mentor is to provide one-to-one attention and elevate the level of service,” adds Brandon.

For mentors, elevating the student experience is their most important goal.

“This initiative allows a mentor to learn more about the student and their goals, and explain to them how to achieve the best experience at Full Sail, all while building a relationship that will enhance the student’s journey,” shares Campus Admissions Mentor Carina Secor Billings. “The mentor is always rooting for the student and is there to help if they hit a roadblock and need direction.”

Opportunities to Meet Campus Mentors in Person

During Orientation Week, students will have the chance to meet with their mentor one-on-one, who will help answer any final enrollment-related questions and connect them with the appropriate resources and departments that will guide them through the rest of their academic journey.

“Nothing is more meaningful than knowing I had a small part in helping them reach their success,” says Carina.
