Peer mentoring

Just two weeks ago, I had helped create and co-host a facilitated class for one of my courses based on the doctrines of peer mentoring, called SCIE 511. SCIE 511 itself is a revolutionary class unlike any university courses I have taken before in my life. I find it both radical and empowering to allow the students/mentors take reign over the class for a whole hour, while the professor oversees but does not disrupt the creative process of the students. The class I co-facilitated was based on Jack…

success. Many of these students have similar aspirations in terms of expanding access to healthcare. While I found my time working in the clinic and tutoring my peers to be rewarding, my experiences in the OR have been the most profound part of my medical…

management skills to inspire others to work together and achieve goals that the patients and nurses do not think are possible. In nursing we strive to enhance the quality of patient care and the healthcare system. Using leadership I will work on mentoring and advocating for my team members by building relationships, showing respect and empathy. I will listen closely to others and communicate a plan of action for a successful outcome. I will demonstrate the highest level of skill and…

first week as a peer mentor in BIOL 315, or, Quantitative Statistics. The class had their first team quiz (RAT), which I thought was a great way for me to start interacting with students and begin mentoring. Although, I did not get to interact with many students at all, and this lack of interaction made me feel most distanced from the action. I was mostly walking up and down the aisles, or standing around looking for a hand to shoot up. I was thinking to approach groups and peer at their work to…

My field of interest in higher education is the Office of Student Engagement particularly in offices involving advising, student support and academic achievement. Academic advising is an essential tool needed in order to establish a strong foundation for student’s development. Furthermore it helps students reach their educational and career goals. Higher education institutions provide academic advising to their students to help them remain on track for graduation. However, many students have…

The program of Community Service Scholars usually represents a dynamic network of student leaders that reflect a wide spectrum of interest, talent and skill. Community Service Scholarships are services designed to improve the quality of life for community residents or solving problems related to their needs. Many scholars oftenly opt to create community service of their path by assuming positions in the student organizations. Community involvement and extracurricular activities can go a long way…

In 2011, Dr. Liliokanaio Peaslee and Dr. Amanda Cleveland Teye of James Madison University were awarded a Mentoring Best Practices Research grant from the Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). With this grant, they were able to collect data with the help of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Harrisonburg Rockingham County(BBBSHR) that would best answer research questions surrounding training and support for mentors. OJJDP’s interest in the topic adds to…

Academic Integrity Academic integrity is not only essential to pursuing solid professional career, but it also plays a big part on shaping and maintaining a person’s values. In this modern age, more college students are seeking for a higher level of education in order to pursue a profession that requires more knowledge and skills, but in return the lack of integrity, honesty, and moral reasoning has become an obvious outgrowth (Chase, 2010). A very good example for this issue is within online…

I hope to get an opportunity to improve the University of Redlands community by getting the youth in the area schools excited about learning an instrument. It is my belief that playing a musical instrument brings out things in you that you never thought possible. If it wasn't for my joining orchestra in fourth grade, I believe I would be a completely different person than I am today. My dream is to make sure that I can help as many kids as possible find themselves through music. My first…
