Academic Mentoring
Many students, making the sometimes difficult transition from high school to college, could benefit from a little guidance and some conversations on topics ranging from "Successfully navigating the college culture", to "How to best keep up with college demands without being overwhelmed."

Some students wonder why they experience a significant GPA drop between high school and their first year of college. This can happen when students approach these two very different learning environments with similar time management paradigms. An academic mentor works to personally analyze how each student approaches college and helps to set new learning and time management objectives to boost the GPA.
