Abstract This chapter presents an overview of a new tiered mentoring program operating at Bellevue Community College in Washington. The program links students with peers, faculty, staff, and administrators via a tiered structure whereby first‐year students are mentored by upper‐level students, who in turn are mentored by professionals in the students' field of study.
