Cardinal Communities at Lamar University

Cardinal Communities (CC) provides individual and group mentoring for first time in college students. Each CC group consists of 35 students, a peer mentor and a faculty/staff mentor based on their meta major. CC students gain information and build networks by connecting to fellow LU students, campus resources and services, their major/academic department, student organizations and more.
