Garman Guides
Our Goals
- Connect early with enrolled engineering students, building their sense of identity as Bucknell Engineers and sense of belonging early and increasingly over time.
- Enhance connectedness and success of first-year engineers through peer mentoring.
- Develop leadership and mentoring skills among our Garman Guides.
What is a Garman Guide?
- Someone who welcomes first-year students to the College of Engineering
- A new friend with an encouraging voice and enthusiasm
- Someone to answer questions (especially those questions that might feel silly)
- Someone who has been where the incoming student is now
- Someone who is willing to share their experiences and time
- A peer mentor to a cohort of ~10 incoming engineering students
