Mentors
The Scholars Academy has enhanced the undergraduate learning environment at UHD by cultivating a peer culture of achievement, a sense of community, and a support system tailored for Scholars Academy members. The Academy assigns faculty mentors (with a PhD) and a peer mentor (upper-level undergraduate) to groups of about ten students who share common academic experiences and majors as reflected within our organizational chart.
Mentoring provides an academic resource though for a safe and reliable source of information and advice. The Peer Mentor offers advice about college life, courses, research, SA requirements, and he/she organizes semesterly networking/study meetings. Discipline-specific faculty "parents" for each of the groups provide fieldtrip opportunities, organize meetings and panel discussions, and other activities they deem valuable for their groups of scholars.
