Accessible Campus Community & Equitable Student Support (ACCESS) and the Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion invite you to take part in the newly revamped BUILD mentoring program by becoming a mentor to a student registered through the ACCESS office.

BUILD stands for Bridging Universal Inclusion & Leadership Development, and we are actively seeking qualified SIUE faculty and staff to help make BUILD more than a name and more of a tangible result afforded to our students!

By participating in BUILD, you can help students needing accommodations, due to diagnosis or disability, solidify goals and gain confidence in their academic aptitude, as well as provide additional motivation to continue their path to career success. BUILD is a flexible program, working within the confines of your schedule and time constraints to allow you the freedom to set up monthly meetings between you and your mentee at a time of mutual convenience.

Faculty and staff participants will undergo a dynamic mentor training session prior to the start of the fall semester jointly facilitated by ACCESS, and the Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion. Please complete the online Mentor Application Form by Friday, Aug. 3. Once we receive your application, we will do everything we can to match you with a student who has an interest in your career field. 

If you have questions about BUILD or would like more information, feel free to contact us at myaccess@siue.edu or call Dominic Dorsey at 650-3726.
