About Mentor Collective

Our Mission

Relationships shape the experience and outcomes of a student’s journey through higher education. Some students will find these relationships among faculty and advisors; however, many more will struggle to forge the long-lasting relationships that drive student success and open doors.

At Mentor Collective, we seek to make life-changing relationships a feature of every student’s college experience. To realize this vision, we partner with forward-thinking institutions that are committed to equity, inclusion, and relationship-centered education.

Our Story

James Lu Morrissey and Jackson Boyar founded Mentor Collective in 2014. Originally, they started by doing pro bono work with a few regional universities in Boston by designing mentorship programs for international students. Over time, those early partners encouraged James and Jackson to consider supporting more diverse student populations. ​

Now, Mentor Collective partners with more than 150 institutions serving a variety of student populations.
