Jovia Mentoring: Guiding and Inspiring Student Success at Â鶹ֱ²¥
Jovia Mentoring: Guiding and Inspiring Student Success at Â鶹ֱ²¥Â promotes unwavering support of student success and persistence toward graduation.
With an emphasis on reaching first-year students who may need help adjusting to the academic and social demands of college, the program promotes leadership skills, goal setting, financial literacy, character-building and career skills. Our approach is student-centered, focusing on the unique needs of each mentee through one-to-one working relationships with trained mentors from the University’s faculty and staff.
I am grateful and blessed to be a mentee in the Mentorship Program. My mentor, Cathy Harrison, has provided me with the tools for networking success and created a welcoming environment since our initial meeting. She wears two hats in our relationship—as a trusted friend and academic mentor, and she does an amazing job distinguishing between them. Under her guidance, I have grown as a person and academically. Cathy has equipped me to become the successful woman I aspire to be. I thank Chotsani for pairing me with her; you have changed my life forever.
