Students who are interested in leadership opportunities, or want to help others improve themselves in their educational and campus activities can apply now for a unique peer mentoring program, cUltivAte. APPLICATIONS ARE NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE AND ARE DUE ON TUESDAY FEB. 8, 2011!
The cUltivAte Peer Mentor program has been a part of the University of Alabama campus since fall of 2008. cUltivAte Peer Mentors are students at the sophomore through senior level who have a strong desire to impact the freshman class and assist new students with the transition into college life. These students are all leaders in other areas of the UA community, and they seek to engage freshman students in the University of Alabama atmosphere and help them to connect with other students, campus organizations, and the University itself. The cUltivAte mentors seek to develop a network of support for incoming students.
cUltivAte Peer Mentors are matched with Freshman Learning Communities or Compass Courses, based on interest and availability. Once matched with a course, mentors work closely with the course instructor to create an interactive and productive environment in the classroom. Mentors may be called upon to facilitate activities or lead discussions within the class; as students themselves, mentors provide a unique perspective on course material. Each mentor is well-trained before being introduced into the classroom. [The two above paragraphs were provided by Chris Chirino].
