Honors Pathmaker Program

We Are All Pathmakers

No one comes into college knowing exactly what they want to do or who they want to be. Everyone at UNM has lived a different story, and once they're here, everyone embarks on a unique journey. No two people can walk the same path through college, Honors, or life. Instead, all of us are continually making our own paths, following our interests, our passions, our curiosity, and our happiness. We are all pathmakers, but just because we're each making our own way, that doesn't mean we need to take the journey alone. That's why the Honors College created the Pathmaker Program to bring Honors students together and to create an even stronger student community. 

2024-2025 Pathmaker Leadership Team

The Honors Pathmaker Program is a student mentoring program within the UNM Honors College dedicated to fostering a more welcoming, inclusive, and connected community. We work closely with the Dean, Honors staff and administration, and Honors faculty to create meaningful peer support systems for students.

The program is facilitated by the Honors Roadrunners, a team of student staff members who work within the Honors College, to connect current Honors College students (Mentors) with new students (Mentees). The Mentors are volunteer student leaders who are passionate about building community and helping incoming Honors students navigate their college experience! Read more about our 2024-2025 Mentors.

Applications to become a Pathmaker Mentor open at the end of each spring semester. We would love to have you join us in our mission to connect students and strengthen the Honors experience through peer mentoring!
