An overview of various topics designed to
guide students through the academic pro-cess
and help ensure their success. Elective

The Faculty Mentoring Program
The Fresno State Faculty Mentoring Program was established in 1987 as part of
California State University’s efforts to promote educational equity in higher
education. The program is a unique experience that affords students the opportu-nity
to interact with faculty in a setting other than the traditional classroom
format.
Research demonstrates that one of the most important factors that contributes to
the likelihood of college success is providing entering students with a faculty
mentor. Fresno State is committed to educational equity and to providing
students with a meaningful and rewarding educational experience. The university
believes participation in the Faculty Mentoring Program will do much toward
reaching these goals.
Each year, members of the Fresno State faculty are invited to serve as mentors to
students. These faculty mentors provide guidance, friendship, and support. They
also serve as role models for students. The faculty mentors come from a wide
range of academic disciplines, including 49 departments and four university
programs. All eight colleges/schools at Fresno State provide faculty mentor
support.
To participate in the Faculty Mentoring Program, students should be freshmen,
transfer, or reentry students. Students are also required to enroll in the course
University 1: An Introduction to the University.
University 1 students
participate in a
team-building
exercise.
Students gain an understanding of college
life, scholarship, and the development of a
purposeful community. Strategies to cope
with both academic and social demands are
presented, as well as the rewards and re-sponsibilities
of lifelong learners.
