Every Chesick Scholar receives a faculty mentor who commits to meeting with them regularly for their entire undergraduate career.

Scholars begin working with their mentors at the end of the Summer Institute to choose first-semester courses. The faculty mentor meets with the student weekly during the semester, and will help students choose classes and decide on a major as well as help them navigate college life more generally. Moreover, the mentor will help each Chesick Scholar connect with resources leading to summer opportunities, study abroad, and academic year research opportunities, as well as advising the Scholar on post-college plans.
