Mentors
During orientation, the students are first introduced into the Learning Cmmunity. Among other things, the orientation process throughly prepares the student with the specifics and goals of the program. It is there that the student is first introduced to their very own mentor. A CCSJ mentor is someone who is a trusted and reliable role model and one who supports the student in reaching his or her own personal potential. Mentors are trained staff who share their own experiences, familiarity and knowledge of the college process. Mentors contact studnets regulary, monitor their progress and help them overcome a variety of obstacles that may prevent them from a successful college experience. Through periodic meetings with Learning Community professors, the mentors keep instructors appraised of the home, work and life challenges the student faces, especially those students who may need the extra help navigating their first year.
