CONNECTION, CONVERSATION, AND COMPASSION
UBalt Connects is a mentorship program designed to empower students during their first-year experience to aid them in their transition to the university, connect with them services on campus, and expand their social networks and sense of belonging. By building a culture of mentoring as an institutional practice, students make connections that assist in retention and student success.
At UBalt, we define mentoring as an evolving relationship based on intentional conversations.
