The Academic Mentoring program helps students transition to and through the college process. Mentoring is customized to meet each student's needs and can range from two sessions to on-going meetings throughout the semester. Mentors are available to help students clarify goals, work on time management skills, and make connections to college resources.

Any student can benefit from having a mentor. Students who take advantage of the mentoring program will:

• receive guidance and support from a trained mentor;
• learn study strategies tailored to their needs to help them succeed in their major;
• discover how to balance school, work, and personal commitments;
• gain an awareness of available campus resources; and
• have a supportive "home base" throughout the first semester to graduation

Individual mentoring sessions may include, but are not limited to:

• Goal setting
• Time management
• Campus involvement and social adjustment
• Note taking and classroom expectations
• Reading textbooks
• Memorization and learning styles
• Test taking strategies
• Test anxiety
• Stress management
