Student academic mentors offer valuable support outside of regular classes, providing a range of assistance to help students succeed in their academic journey:
Study skills guidance: Mentors can help with developing effective study techniques, note-taking strategies, time management, and organization skills.
University life adaptation: Mentors assist new students in settling into university life, including navigating both virtual and physical campuses.
Networking and connections: They can help students connect with faculty members, the broader university community, and even external professionals.
Emotional support: As peers, mentors provide a friendly face on campus and can be a source of encouragement and motivation.
Referrals to specialized services: While not experts in everything, mentors can guide students to appropriate support services when needed
Having student academic mentors around who students can reach out to anytime is a huge help – they’re a friendly, approachable resource that makes studying easier and creates a real sense of support and community.
