A staff of carefully selected and trained graduate students are available to work with student-athletes in their specific areas of expertise. In addition, tutors conduct review sessions during mid-term and final exam periods. Mentors are specially trained advanced graduate students and Academic Coordinators who work closely with students requiring more individualized attention. Each mentor works with only a few students in order to provide the most specialized assistance possible. They assess the unique needs of each student and help formulate strategies to address those needs.
Mentors teach study skills, track student progress and monitor for any potential problems.
Working closely with Counseling and Psychological Services, the Learning Specialist coordinates testing and helps students understand and apply the test results and recommendations. Academic Affairs also functions as a referral center, putting student-athletes in touch with those at the University who specialize in responding to the needs of a diverse student population. Student-athletes know that they will be directed to the appropriate person whether their concerns are academic problems, housing issues, rules and procedures, or personal matters.
