“From the first set of data, we have good evidence that peer mentorship can be done rather efficiently and cheaply. In the absence of technology, the size of a team you would need to be able to do this would make it cost prohibitive. What Mentor Collective has is a product and a platform that allows us to systematize and scale a very effective model for increasing student success and closing equity gaps.”
Dr. Elliot Stern, President, Saddleback College
“If we only thought about our retention and graduation rates today, we would be neglecting the diverse population of students in need of our help. We are not historically built for those students, and some of the things we’re doing are the just right things to do. With our current tuition, even if we retain three students, we’ve paid for the program. This is a long-run strategy that will benefit the institution as the general student population becomes more diverse. If we’re not moving now, we’ll never get there.”
Dr. Karl Voss, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, Bucknell University
