TEAM MENTORING PROGRAM

A program designed to maximize the experience of students in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), and pre-health majors in order to increase their retention, achievement, and graduation. Student and faculty mentors work with you to build connections for your success!

Words from Interim Director

Dear Faculty, Staff, and Students As you may know, the heart and soul of TMP, J. Manuel Acevedo, retired. Under Manuel's leadership, TMP has been a strong and deliberate collaboration between student affairs and academic affairs to address the equity gaps of students in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), and pre-health majors. In that spirit of collaboration, I, along with Dr. Mary Sanchez Lanier in the Division of Academic Engagement and Student Achievement, will oversee TMP's continuation and development. Structurally TMP will be under the Office for Access & Opportunity and located in Lighty 260 along with other high-impact programs. We are committed to seeing the legacy of TMP continue and will communicate transitions as they develop.

Highlights

Last month TMP created its first fair, where mentees got to learn more about ways that the program can help with their success.

TMP also hosted a Research Opportunities Fair, for students to learn about the opportunities behind a research position as an undergrad.

Mentee Spotlight

I am thankful for Team Mentoring Program and for the opportunity of being one of the students who received a scholarship at the end of the 2022 fall semester. I am especially grateful for my mentor, Madison Arreola for always being there for me and helping me with a lot of information. As a student having the opportunity to receive this scholarship is something that was very helpful because it gives us the motivation to improve ourselves, to keep going, and continue working towards achieving our goals. I sincerely, thank you for granting the WSU students this opportunity.   ~Valeria Cibrian
