Each Project Mentor student is assigned to a specified mentor who meets with the student weekly, by appointment. Mentor sessions include academic advisement, schedule adjustments, tutoring and career development. Mentors help students negotiate accommodations based on their specific disability. Mentors also provide counseling regarding specific issues for students with learning disabilities. Our list of mentors can be found on the Staff/Mentors page.

Professional Tutorial

Professional Tutorial for Project Mentor occurs with a drop-in schedule each semester. Tutors are available for all subjects, with a concentration in English and Math skills. Tutors are professionals who are trained and skilled to tutor students with learning disabilities by being adaptable and supportive. The schedule for the current semester can be found on the Tutorial Schedule page.

Assistive Technology

The four-week Summer Orientation Program provides an intensive academic and personal challenge as well as an orientation to college life. Learning, study and organizational strategies and skills, which are crucial for success in college, are applied within simulated college courses.

Writing in response to assigned and self-chosen readings, editing written work, computer applications, assistive technology training and mathematics instruction forms the foundation of the summer curriculum. During the four-week period, students are enrolled in a Learning Strategies course in which they receive three (3) college credits (elective credit).

Placement testing, academic advising, and registration for the fall semester take place during this time as well. After completing the summer program, Project Mentor students become ‘savvy’ members of the University community.
