Academic Mentors

Academic Mentors are upperclassmen who were selected based on proven academic achievement and demonstrated willingness to help fellow students. As part of their charge, Fellows and Mentors provide free academic assistance on a regular basis through advertised review sessions, “office hours” in the college commons, and individual tutoring by request.
