Provide extended support that can positively impact student
adjustment and academic success and enhance the learning
process.
Mentors will provide the support, care, concern and
inspiration that may be instrumental in a student’s successful
transition to the college environment. The mentor will
be a positive role model and a reliable “go to” person
for new students. The mentor will help the student utilize
on-campus support services to ease through the sometimes-difficult
adjustment period of the crucial first year.
We are now recruiting Mentors from the entire employment
pool at Florida Tech. Faculty, administrators and staff
are encouraged to volunteer. We look forward to hearing
from all of you who are interested in making a difference
in the success and in the lives of our freshman class
After a short training program, we will ask Mentors to
devote a little time each week to their mentored student.
This “contact” time could be an email, phone
call and/or lunch on campus. If you choose to do more
with your student, i.e. dinner at your home, help with
homework, a movie, or an invitation for a holiday meal,
all the better. We want you to spend just enough time
to be able to recognize warning signs that may indicate
that your mentored student is having academic, physical,
psychological or social problems.
