Student Mentors

art academy of Cincinnati exteriorAll freshmen at AAC are paired with a volunteer mentor from the junior or senior class. Your mentor will show you around during orientation week and meet with you regularly after school starts, serving as a resource throughout your first year. In addition, special events for mentors / mentees take place once a month.

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. For more information or to volunteer to become a mentor, contact Student Services director Sara Mulhauser at (513) 562-8766 or smulhauser@artacademy.edu.
