Our Transfer Mentor program is designed to help assist new and returning transfer
students with their transition to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½!
We hope that this program will provide transfer students with the resources to adjust, be comfortable, and immerse themselves within the Binghamton community!
Schedule an appointment with a mentor, or stop by the mentor program office in the CIW Library, room 204. (Iroquois Commons)
At the beginning of each semester (Fall & Spring) new Transfer students, will automatically be assigned a Transfer Mentor. They will receive an introductory email from their mentor in early August/Mid January prior to move-in. It is our hope that the mentor will help guide the new students throughout their first semester (and beyond!) and help with the transition to Binghamton!
Regardless of when a student transferred to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, every transfer
student has the ability to meet with a transfer mentor. Each transfer mentor holds an office hour every week in the CIW Library, rm 204 (unless otherwise noted).
