The ETS Mentoring Program works with 1-3 freshman non honors English classes to help prepare and expose students to college. Each student is paired up with a current St. Olaf College student who serves as their mentor for the entire year. Students and mentors exchange weekly letters discussing college topics such as financial aid, studying abroad, choosing a major, etc. Students and mentors also meet face-to-face three times a year for the mentoring program field trips.
