IDEAL is a freshman exclusive mentorship organization that prioritizes the personal and professional development of future leaders on campus. By building a community of first year students, IDEAL emphasizes identity, diversity, engagement, awareness, and leadership to empower our students when serving our community.

How to get involved

IDEAL hosts several events open to all freshmen the first few weeks of the fall semester where you can learn more about at ideal and meet more first year students.
