Student/Faculty
Mentor Program
The
Student/Faculty Mentor Program has been established
with hopes of introducing faculty members to a new part
of student learning. We feel this program will enhance
the overall educational experience at Miami University.
Students often need advice and information that is not
found in any textbook and on topics that cannot be researched
on the Internet. Therefore, the program will give participating
students a chance to tap into the knowledge and experience
of Miami faculty members. Click here
