Mentoring

The mentoring services at SFU was designed to link students with mentors who will provide students with insights which are helpful as they explore and evaluate their potential educational and career options. The mentors are paired with students to assist them in adjusting to college life and to successfully meet the rigor of their academic requirements. While students regularly use their faculty, parents, and peers to provide them guidance, the mentor “who has been there” can share some extremely valuable tips for coping with academic and non-academic demands of college life. Mentors and their mentees have the opportunity to meet and communicate with each other on a scheduled and casual basis, making the mentor-mentee relationship a rewarding experience for both. The students are regularly asked for their suggestions to make the mentoring program a useful service to them.
