Mentoring

The Honors College offers academic mentoring to all honors students.  Honors mentoring goes beyond academic advising about courses and majors to also help students prepare for their future.  We start at orientation, asking students to tell us about their plans for their futures, and then we work with students to help them to start taking those steps that will lead them accomplishing those goals. 

We of course help students to choose majors and minors that will help students to meet their professional goals, and to select the courses that will help them to graduate on time and to complete all of their requirements.  However, we also help students to begin thinking about possible graduate and professional school programs, admissions tests such as the GRE, MCAT, LSAT, and the out of class experiences such as research, hands-on experience, internships, volunteer work and other activities that will help their applications for graduate/professional school or employment to stand out from others.
