Academic Mentors are experienced JMU students who have received training and
information about setting academic goals, time management, note taking, exam
preparation and other important skills. If you participate in the program,
you will be matched with an academic mentor. Throughout
the course of the Spring semester, they will conduct several small group and
individual meetings to help you plan your strategies for academic success.
All Academic Mentors are well informed about university policies and
services and so can assist you in identifying and seeking any additional
support you may need. Students who participated in the program last year
showed significantly improved academic performance.
Sign ups occur during January. For more information contact Faith
