Student Mentoring
Guidance to Go Further
At LVC, we’re big on mentorship—from Day 1. whether it’s from your peers, professors, or staff members, there are many options for you to find guidance in your personal, professional, and academic goals.
Building Community
Orientation Leaders
For incoming students, one of your first student contacts at orientation will be with your
Orientation Leader
. Orientation Leaders are undergraduates who know their way around LVC and will help you navigate your early days at LVC. Your Orientation Leader will connect you with your peers, support systems, and the greater LVC community.
Resident Assistants
Resident assistants (RAs) live on each floor of a residence hall. They are ready to answer your questions about campus, activities, offices, and events. RAs are trained to facilitate good roommate and social relationships.
Your First-year Experience
5050 Peer Helpers
Trained and supervised by our professional counselors, our 5050 Peer Helpers are students who meet 1:1 with other students to discuss issues including anxiety, long-distance relationships, and academic concerns. They also run a weekend social supportive group called “Friendly Faces” for any interested students.

Advice
Make Connections
What impresses me about LVC is the number of unexpected mentors I have found. Professors, RAs, and support staff members have taken a genuine interest in my development, helping to uplift, encourage, and guide my growth. My recommendation is this: seek out support. Seek out guidance. Building connections with others will help you excel in areas you’re already comfortable with and expose you to exciting new opportunities for additional growth.

Establish a Routine
Get into a routine that allows for time studying, socializing, and moving your body! These are all equally important to keep up with in college.

Balance is Key
It’s ok to say no. As a first-year, you want to be involved in a lot of things, but when it comes to balancing social life with academics, you have to make hard decisions to better your academic goals.
