Students are their top priority!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 12, 2022 The Mentor Collective have the student as their main priority. During the crazy times of Covid, this software and company have been more helpful than we could have ever imagined. The connections made through this software have helped students to be retained. That is far more valuable than any other software that we use for peer to peer connections. Pros The software is extremely easy for students and administrators to use. The support that is provided to the administrator is fabulous! I love how well the software does when it comes to matching mentors and mentees. Cons I do not have any cons for the software. The company and the software are really great! Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Pros Mentor Collective has helped our incoming students to connect with more experienced students are out university. In a time where making connections has been challenging due to quarantines, isolation, remote classes, and more, Mentor Collective provided a way for students to develop a sense of belonging with the university without having to step foot on campus. The mentors are great about connecting mentees to resources and helping to engage them with campus. Cons For what I have had to use this for, I have no complaints.

Academic Advisor Higher Education ### "Mentor Collective Mentor Program Partnership" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 December 6, 2021 Mentor Collective has allowed our college to scale a peer mentoring program from 100 participants to 350 participants in the course of one year. We would not be able to provide this resource to so many first-year students without their logistical support. Pros This software collects and stores the data that is needed to review program success, challenges, and norms. It also does all of the mentor/mentee matching and has a robust online mandatory training program for mentors in your program. Cons The data dashboard can be confusing at times, with inconsistencies and holes in the data. However, the Mentor Collective is providing an upgrade to the dashboard in the coming weeks, which should help with this issue. Reasons for choosing Mentor Collective Mentor Collective provided webinars that showcased what their product can accomplish. They used college and university programs that have already been established and shown success, and shared how those programs used Mentor Collective to their extreme benefit.

AVP/DOS Education Management ### "Mentor Collective for New Freshmen" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 December 2, 2021 So far it has been good. They are responsive and it is nice having an assigned contact. Training overall would could be more thorough or have more asynchronous content to view. Because Mentor Collective handles much of the communication on their end, administrators on campus don't always know what they are being told and how often students are communicated with. It also isn't always clear whose responsibility is what on tasks since there are basically two sides working on it. Pros It was a simple way to connect to a large population of students to have connections as they first enter college. Students seem to be engaging and have had positive comments about it. Cons As an administrator, I am not aware of what messages go to students who are participating, I have minimal knowledge on how to maximize use of the dashboard. Students aren't clear on who is running the program, there is limited interaction outside of mentoring groups. Reasons for choosing Mentor Collective Supervisor spoke with reps and selected the program.

Pros I like that we have been able to successfully pair up upper class BGSU students with first time students. I believe this is helping with retention during an extremely difficult time throughout the world. Cons Sometimes the dashboard information is not the easiest to understand but they are working on making updates that currently.

Building a mentorship program was a daunting endeavor made less complex by MC. Our MC contact and support has been great. Pros It facilitates initial coordination, training, and engagement, and provides continued support and communication that makes it easy for all participants. Cons It is largely independent from our existing systems, but that is because of our other third party software contracts and not anything against MC.
