What will you do during Scholar Week?

During this event, you will explore campus and learn about a range of resources, like the library and The Exchange. You'll also start building relationships with your new peers and make friends that last a lifetime.

• Connect with professors and staff who care about helping you succeed.
• Tour the campus and locate the rooms for all of your first-semester classes.

What is the Mentor to Success Program?

During Scholar Week, we'll also introduce you to our Mentor to Success Program, an initiative in which all 21st Century Scholars at Marian University participate.

• Designed to engage and empower you as you begin your first year of college, the Mentor to Success program connects you with an upperclassman and 21st Century Scholar who will serve as your mentor.
• Throughout the fall semester, your mentor will help you adjust to campus life and become an active, engaged campus community member.

We aim to foster an inclusive environment and help you build peer relationships through shared experiences, campus programs, and service-learning opportunities.

As a first-year 21st Century Scholar at Marian, you can expect:

• Direct access to student resources and a community of support during the early stages of your academic career.
• A strong network of support for developing your personal and leadership skills.
• A  greater sense of belonging and community.
• Encouragement and guidance as you transition from high school to the college environment.
• Benefits that only come from the knowledge and experience of an upperclassman who understands your journey.
