Lebanon Valley College students serve as mentors for the younger generation in order to encourage them to go to college, get good grades and give them a feeling of what college is all about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe LVEP program was so helpful,\u201d Ivonne Mbugua, a sophomore biology major, said. \u201cI wasn\u2019t stressed out preparing for college because I was helped along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another LVC student said the program helped her out tremendously before arriving at the Valley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI obtained more social skills,\u201d Ayla Esbri, a freshman early childhood education major, said. \u201cI met new people (LVC mentors), and I was able to get a sense of what the college life was like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rev.
