Faculty Mentor Program

College of Health Sciences

The CHS academic programs assign a faculty mentor to students in each entering class. The faculty mentor assists with academic and non-academic problems. In addition to these faculty mentors, the CHS Dean, Assistant Deans, and the Dean of Students are also available to assist students with academic advising, counseling, and non-academic problems. The faculty members volunteer their time and their effort to the success of this program. It is, however, the student who determines the amount of interaction.

CHS faculty mentors act as liaisons between the faculty and students. Their responsibilities include:

1. Serving as the student's advisor and academic/professional counselor;
2. Overseeing and monitoring the academic progress and professional growth of the student;
3. Assisting the student in seeking academic and personal counseling services provided by the institution;
4. Serving as an advocate for the student;
5. Counseling the student during his/her selection of a career within the profession.
