Work History
Student Peer Mentor
Alamo Colleges
07.2024 - Current
The mission of the St. Philip’s College Faculty-Student Mentoring (FSM) Program is to empower students to achieve 30 credit hours on the way to realizing the career pathway and transfer opportunities available to them. The goal of the Faculty-Student Mentoring (FSM) Program at St. Philip’s College is to offer students the opportunity to establish an academic relationship with a faculty member. This faculty member (mentor) will meet with their assigned mentee throughout the semester to encourage and support their goals while attending St. Philip’s College. The faculty-student mentor will provide insight into the student’s academic success. Other focal points that are suggested for a mentor-mentee relationship will surround preparing the student for university transfer, aiding in refining workplace skills, and discussing career aspirations. Faculty mentees are assigned once a student has completed their first semester and/or has completed at least 15 earned hours.
