The mental health and well-being of college students is a public health crisis that colleges and universities can address with a variety of approaches. The Mentorship through Exercise Program (MEP) at a large university in the Southeastern United States is one such approach. This program brings together the positive elements of physical activity and mentoring, aiming to increase students' well-being and sense of belonging on campus.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the MEP. A convergent mixed methods approach was used. Paired t-tests of pre- and post-surveys showed statistically significant positive changes in both students' well-being and their sense of belonging. Four themes emerged from the open-ended survey questions and focus groups including physical activity, mentorship, benefits of the program, and program feedback/suggestions.Findings suggest the MEP is effective in increasing students' sense of belonging and well-being. Additionally, data supports a stronger sense of belonging for students in the recreation space itself as well as increased levels of physical activity among participants. Suggestions for improving the program from participants included increased check-in points, adding shared experiences among the mentor groups, varied communication methods with participants and embedding evaluation into the program. Findings from this study will be used to make improvements, market the program, and solicit buy-in from stakeholders to sustain program efforts. Other similar institutions may be able to adapt the program to fit their needs.
