Through the Compass mentoring program, students are matched to a mentor, who will contact students before they come to campus and throughout their first year at WSU. Student mentors provide their mentees with personalized support.
Goals of the program are:
-
Enhance students’ understanding of the purpose and role of higher education
-
Assist students in developing a relationship with the institution, peers, staff, and WSU
-
Provide information concerning academic policies, procedures and programs
-
Promote an awareness of non-classroom opportunities
-
Create an atmosphere that minimizes anxiety, promotes positive attitudes, and stimulates an environment for learning
