Hello!

Hello! My name is Hannah and I am here to help you get a grasp on your school work! I am a struggling student myself and don't really feel fit to preach to others in being successful in college but I do really want to try to help in whatever way I can! I am a UVU Mentor at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. This is my third year of being a mentor so I felt it was about time for me to reach out to the virtual community! I mentor for the Student Leadership and Success Studies (SLSS) Department here at UVU and went into this in hopes to help struggling college students but have found or at least feel that I’ve been gaining more than the students I’ve been helping. Being a mentor has been such an incredible experience for me. I honestly don't feel fit to help students.

There are 5 roles for a mentor:

Trusted friend

Peer leader

Student advocate

Learning coach

Connecting link

With these roles in mind I work individually with one instructor each semester in deciding how to facilitate our in class lessons for our college success class. I figured I would start posting on this blog what we have discussed in our class each week. Hopefully these posts help someone who will be reading them!
