Mission
The Agricultural Mentoring Program (AMP) is in place to provide a network of support for new students in the Food and Resource Economics Department (FRED). Mentors help guide mentees through involvement opportunities, department essentials, and university resources from a peer perspective.
We understand student development takes place in and out of the classroom. AMP aims to provide development of the whole student during their transition to UF and FRE while placing importance on the benefits of involvement throughout their academic career.
We are dedicated to the development and success of our students. There is more to gain from the college experience than attending classes. AMP serves as a guide to learn about all FRED has to offer and develop friendships and a network!
