The Middle Eastern/North African Mentoring program, a student advising program offered by Multicultural Student Services, was officially revived last fall after five years of dormancy and will continue to recruit students throughout the spring semester. The program, which includes students with Middle Eastern or North African backgrounds, offers academic support to underclassmen and transfer students who are paired with upperclassmen mentors. Formerly known as the Middle Eastern Mentoring program, the advising program was expanded to include North African students when it was restarted. Daria London, president of the program and fourth-year College student, said she and other executive members felt it was important to expand the organization’s services. Imane Akhanous, director of mentee affairs and second-year College student, echoed a similar statement to London’s.
