Real Connections, Real Impact
Baleigh Hardman, Class of ‘28
“When I thought about having a mentor, I thought it was just a person to talk to when I needed advice about my major, but it’s so much more than that. Sinaya became someone I could confide in, a built-in friend, and a person I could trust to help me through my first year in college. She has helped me through more than just academics, but life.”
Sinaya Edwards, Class of ‘26
“Being a mentor was simultaneously fun and fulfilling! Seeing Baleigh excel has made me so proud. She has exceeded my expectations as a freshman and thinking about her accomplishments and new positions make me smile. I am so happy that we were connected through the Mentor Match program, and that I get to be included in her amazing story at Centenary.”

To become a mentor, a student must first demonstrate the ability to succeed inside and outside of the classroom at Centenary. After that, students may apply and interview to become a mentor if they have a recommendation and support from a faculty member.
