| Transcript | John M. Ivancevich, Ph.D. College of Business Administration Roger Eichhorn, Ph.D. Cullen College of Engineering Karen S. Haynes, Ph.D. Graduate School of Social Work AdutiKtitialtoK A Sense of Belonging or new students who felt like they were drowning in a sea of confusion, the newly expanded Mentor Program provided the raft to keep them afloat. Thelma Douglass, assistant dean of students, reorganized the program to include transfer students and freshman. The program paired these students with upperclass student leaders, faculty or staff administrators. The mentors met with their students before each monthly meeting, and made themselves available to answer any questions or help with problems during the semester. "It gives the first-time students a sense of belonging," Douglass said. "They have someone they can talk with." Jeffrey Moran, a freshman business major, said he has gotten a lot out of the program so far. "She (his mentor) has helped with morale, and it's just nice to have someone else to know," Moran said. Jodi Ceaser, a junior biology major, had a mentor when she was a freshman. Now she is a mentor for new students and, said her positive experiences were her reasons for helping new students. -Majorie Goodman James H.
