Engineers Mentoring the Future (EMF): EMF is a mentorship program that aims to help engineering freshman overcome the academic and social challenges common in their first year. This is accomplished by connecting these students with second, third, or fourth-year engineering students so they can benefit from their guidance and experience. As a result, students will be able to have fun at events, build important connections, as well as ensure success in their college career and all their future endeavors. Interested in becoming a mentee? E-mail your name, major, and year to emf.uci@gmail.com .
