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.
