All freshmen at AAC are paired with a volunteer mentor from the junior or senior class.

Mentors can help new students adjust to AAC in a variety of ways, including:

  • meeting people and making friends
  • developing good work / study habits
  • forming relationships with faculty
  • getting the most out of AAC services and resources
  • dealing with forms, paperwork and deadlines
  • learning their way around Cincinnati
  • deciding on a major and planning coursework

All mentors are volunteers who receive special training and are supervised by the Director of Student Services.
