It’s time to LINK up Bobcats! The LINKS program emphasizes exploration and discovery, helping students build meaningful connections with peers while engaging more deeply with their academic interests and potential career pathways.
A focus on well-being, campus engagement, and personal development offers students support in navigating their transition to college and developing a sense of belonging within the broader Bobcat community.
Students receive individualized peer mentoring, along with specialized sessions that introduce students to opportunities for scholarship, experiential learning, and professional growth—connecting them to a wide range of possibilities for their future.
Every LINKS student is assigned a peer mentor - helping students find community, connection, and sense of belonging on campus. LINKS peer mentors are successful returning students, who serve as role models to first year students, and provide academic, personal, and social support, as they transition from high school to college.
The LINKS Welcome Program is a one-day event held before the start of the fall semester to welcome LINKS students to campus. Students who plan to live on campus will move into their residence halls a day before the program, providing an opportunity to settle in and begin connecting with peers. The event continues with enrichment activities that help students familiarize themselves with campus resources, meet LINKS-affiliated staff and campus administrators.
