The transition from high school to college is one
filled with exciting opportunities, fresh beginnings, and trepidations
about a new environment. One of the best ways to adjust to your new
academic and social surroundings is to get connected to people who care
about you and your success. The COB Mentoring Program exists to do just
that—we will pair you with a faculty or staff member or upper class
business student to give you a chance to interact with individuals who
are knowledgeable about the COB and want you to do your best at Colorado
State University.
