First Year Mentors
The First Year Mentors or FYMs are upper-class students who are here to help YOU during your transition. This year we will have 15 FYMs to assist you. You will meet and interact them during the Life on Campus session sponsored by Student Affairs during your PittStart. The FYMs will also be available to you at the Pitt Odyssey Camps throughout the summer and will be seen all week at New Student Orientation, where they have spent all summer planning fun, interactive social events to help you get to know other Pitt students and feel more connected to the campus surroundings. They can’t wait to meet you!
