Big Sib/Little Sib Program
An optional student mentorship opportunity available to Honors students is the Big Sibling/Little Sibling Program. Our Big Sibs are upperclassmen Honors students who are trained to help ease the transition to college life as a balanced Honors student and community member. Any incoming freshman who is admitted to the Honors Program will receive in their admission email a link to sign up to be a Little Sib, which we use to match them to the Big Sib based on personality, hobbies, major, and interests.
If you are an upperclassman Honors student wanting to be a Big Sib, please review the Honors Big Sib Requirements and Responsibilities and email Honors@tntech.edu for access to the application.
If you are an incoming freshman Honors student and would like more information about being a Little Sib, please email Honors@tntech.edu.
