Alternative Mentoring for Psychology Students
Chesniak-Phipps, Laura; Terry, Laura
Journal of Instructional Research, v8 n2 p89-92 2019
The ratio of full-time psychology faculty to psychology students on a college campus can often present difficulty in providing individual mentoring. Further, because psychology students can apply their degrees in a variety of ways, mentoring is a critical component to success post-graduation, whether a student chooses to pursue a career or graduate school. In response to this issue, two, full-time psychology professors created and implemented a mentoring program in an attempt to reach undergraduate students in a group setting. This paper will outline the pilot semester of the program and discuss implications for future programs.
