The University of Toledo

Rocket 2 Rocket

The purpose of the Rocket2Rocket program is to help commuter students who are new to the University of Toledo make a successful academic and social transition into college. Coaches connect students to UT by providing personal support, promoting campus involvement and encouraging the use of available resources to ease the transition into college.

The Rocket2Rocket Peer Mentoring Program is housed in the Student Union, Room 2500.  This area is used for studying, meeting with groups for class projects, reading, and of course, meeting with mentors.
