Analysis of the School of Business Academic Peer Mentor Program
The School of Business Academic Peer Mentor Program began in Fall 2009 and has seen great success due to growth and continuous improvement. Implementing peer mentor programs in other departments can provide numerous opportunities to further connect students to their academic disciplines, professors, and peers. Events and workshops created and facilitated by the Peer Mentors help educate underclassmen how to be successful in and out of class. One-on-one mentoring complements these programs by providing students the opportunity to address individual goals, questions, and concerns. More information about the goals and rationale of general Peer Mentor programs can be found at http://tinyurl.com/7dp34ma and http://tinyurl.7oaqodc.com. This session will educate the community on why the School of Business Peer Mentor Program has been successful and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the program. In addition, through both the perspectives of mentees and peer mentors, significant past experiences with the program will be highlighted. Participant Preparation Expectations: None
