Students who are selected to be mentors for RISE are called upon to help usher first year, first generation students of color into Marquette. We strive to develop leaders who are committed to their roles because they understand the impact of assisting their peers on the Marquette campus. In modeling leadership, they contribute to a broader objective that aims to help students succeed and thrive at Marquette. The mentor position is a paid position.
Expectations of RISE mentors include participating in on-going training and reflection to help them become more aware of themselves as leaders and to better serve the needs of the students they mentor. Some topics included in training and reflection include the following:
RISE mentors are also invited to attend and coordinate educational and social gatherings with the students in their RISE cohort. Examples of these group (pre-pandemic) programs have included the following:
The application and selection of RISE mentors occurs in the spring semester. Application requirements are available on Handshake.
As a high-level leadership position within RISE, we require full commitment to the role of RISE Leader.
