MCMC 1100 Messina Purpose Initiative (MPI): First-Year Mentoring Experience

This experience provides reflective space for students to explore and strengthen their sense of identity, purpose, and belonging in college and beyond. Through meaningful dialogue, shared experiences, and hands-on activities, students cultivate deeper connections to themselves, their peers, and their expanding communities at Messina and Boston College. Guided by experienced student mentors, group sessions engage students in thoughtful conversations and experiential activities that explore their personal journeys, evolving relationships, and roles within their academic and social communities. Each student's authentic presence and participation enriches the group's collective experience and deepens our shared understanding. Participation Requirements: Attendance at 10 scheduled mentoring sessions per semester Active engagement in reflective discussions and activities Collaborative involvement with mentors and peers Note: Connection and community are vital to student success. Students who miss more than three sessions will meet with their dean to explore ways to strengthen their participation in this transformative community experience. *This is a required program and will appear on your transcript
