There are two positions for upperclassmen in EON

As a mentor, you will be a role model and leader for the first-year engineering students. Depending on how many students sign up, you will have a group of six to ten students. Your main role will be during the orientation where you will take your group to each activity. Throughout the year, EON will host several networking sessions where you will encourage your group to attend.

They will be assigned a group of mentors and are responsible for communicating with their group before, during and after the orientation. They will hold meetings with their mentor groups and keep them informed of upcoming activities and networking events. The Head Mentor will not be assigned to a mentor group.
