About FastStart
FastStart is a mentorship program supported by the Penn State Alumni Association. FastStart was formed in 1996 to enrich the student experience of Penn State first year students who identify from underrepresented populations. Since its inception FastStart has supported matriculation, persistence, academic achievement and professional development of Penn State students.FastStart operates using a triad mentorship model, first–year students (Mentees) are matched with a Penn State faculty/staff mentor and alumni (Mentors). This will support mentees to get their college career off to a “FastStart” by supporting students to flourish in their new university environment. More information about FastStart and how to apply to be a mentee or mentor can be found here.
