The S.M.A.R.T. Mentoring Program offers mentorship opportunities to first-year multicultural students who enroll. First-year students are assigned to upperclass peer mentors. Having already experienced their first year of college, student mentors help first-year students become acquainted with academic, cultural, and social life on campus. Furthermore, mentors help first-year students in the areas of study skills and time management, and provide both academic and personal support. The ultimate goal of S.M.A.R.T. is to help each first-year student reach the highest level of achievement that is expected at Elon.
The primary goal of S.M.A.R.T. Orientation is to encourage, inspire, and introduce positive ways for first-year multicultural students to meet challenges with intellect, imagination, and success. Through this program, students have the opportunity to learn more about the many services that are available at the university to augment their academic and social development.
The S.M.A.R.T. Mentors consist of upperclass students who participated in the program their first year of college. The mentors are trained to be a resource, academically and socially to the first-year students in this program. Each mentor is assigned a group of 3-6 first-year students to mentor for the year.
