When your student comes to Illinois, they will explore, learn, and grow as contributing adults to our campus community; therefore, we shall treat them as responsible adults. As you shift your role from a caretaker to mentor, we hope that you will challenge and support your student to recognize and develop the skills they will need to be successful in college and beyond.

Shifting from Caretaker to Mentor

Let your students discover who they are and what they are capable of.

We will work with your student to strive for health and wellness while maintaining a sense of balance with their academics, professional goals, and personal life, but you can also refer them to the following resources.
