Mentorship

As a Jesuit institution, one of the primary ways Fairfield University supports Fairfield Bellarmine students in their personal growth and professional development is through mentoring. Faculty and staff mentors build and strengthen relationships with our students as they journey through the college experience, which contributes to student belonging and inclusion, and ultimately ensures their success at Fairfield Bellarmine.

Mentors are there to be present, to create a safe and trusting space, to facilitate “real” discussions and reflections among students, and to offer their own perspectives about living an authentic life. Mentorship instills confidence in our students and offers encouragement, psychosocial support, and a safe space for diverse perspectives and experiences.
