YEAR 1 Mentors
Our Mission:
We, the YEAR 1 Mentors, are a group of students who, on our own initiative, make a commitment to be "Your Everything and Anything Resource" to all new students. We reach out to every First-Year student at Loyola University Chicago. We support and guide our students throughout their college transition and strive to make their experience as meaningful, engaging and successful as possible.
YEAR 1 Mentors will:
-
Email every first-year student with helpful information, resources, and advice throughout the Fall and Spring semesters.
-
Be available for one-on-one 'coffee talks' with first year students to get to know them and help connect them to resources and activities on campus.
-
Plan educational and social events for all first-year students throughout the year.
-
Host the Annual Masquerade Ball for first-year students in February.

My name is William Hurd, but most just call me Will. I'm going into my senior year in the Honors program with a double major in Spanish and History. I love riding my bike, jamming to some tunes, and traveling. If you want to know anything else, just drop me a line. |
I'm going into my senior year in the Honors program and recently started considering going to grad school for Speech and Language Pathology to become a speech therapist. My favorite foods are peanut butter, banana, honey sandwiches and mac & cheese, but not eaten at the same time... that'd be gross. I also love Thai food but only from a place off Fullerton called Noodles in the Pot. Seriously it's that good. I should probably mention more about me than food though. I love How I Met Your Mother, Community, dogs, free food (wait.. no more mentioning food), coffee, and fall and spring (if only those seasons existed in Chicago). Also in my spare time I run marathons. |
The Remaining 2012-2013 YEAR 1 Mentor Profiles will upload soon.
