Starting Point Mentorship Program

In recent years, Latinx and Chicanx students have made up a greater percentage of UC Berkeley’s transfer admit classes than its freshman admit classes — in the 2022-2023 cycle, nearly 30% of all admitted Latinx and Chicanx students were transfers.

The case for mentorship is an easy one to make. Mentorships create lifelong friends, healthy habits and personal growth for mentors and mentees alike.

Being a mentor not only changes the life of your mentee but can also impact your own life. Be the change you had in your life, and guide others to success!

For transfer students who feel alienated from their peers or who are in need of support, the Transfer Student Center gives them a space of their own.
