In 1994, CGU developed the Minority Mentor Program (MMP) as part of its commitment to improve the retention of underrepresented students.


MMP is a volunteer organization that helps to acquaint newly enrolled minority students (proté­­­­gé­­­­s) with returning second-year and third-year students (mentors) of the same academic program, gender or ethnicity.  These mentors provide a variety of information – from guidance in coursework and academic resources to advice on recreational activities. More often though, MMP provides participants with opportunities to make new friends and better acclimate to their new academic environment. Such friendships can often make the graduate school experience at CGU more comfortable and successful. MMP is one way for students to experience a sense of community and subsequently, the friendships often grow beyond the mentor-proté­­­­gé relationship.
