The Mentoring and Advocacy Program (MAP)

The Mentoring and Advocacy Program, formerly the Faculty Mentor Program, ensures that students, as they develop their academic plans and postgraduate goals, have access to the wisdom and experience of faculty. MAP employs and trains faculty to prepare them to give special attention to first-generation, reentry, and transfer students. Students are invited to join the program for assignment to a mentor and for workshops that will introduce them to academic culture. By encouraging faculty-student interaction, MAP seeks to improve student retention and academic success. In addition, MAP staff and faculty serve as advocates for students as they utilize the resources and opportunities on campus.
