Mentors offer advice, counseling to students
by Hope E. Paasch
Battalion Staff
A mentor, as defined by
Webster, is a wise and faithful
counselor. More than 200 facul
ty and staff members have
volunteered to serve in this
capacity at Texas A&M Univer
sity.
But, the problem facing Dr.
Shirley Black, head of the men
tors program at Texas A&M, is
that mentors are ready and wait
ing, but students don’t know
they are there.
to financial difficulty to acade
mic disaster. But, Black said,
many students still don’t know
about the program.
Although the mentor prog
ram is not a substitution for de
partmental advisers, the Acade
mic Counseling Service or the
Personal Counseling Service,
mentors still offer the student
valuable aid, she said.
they constantly try to find ways
to inform more students about
the program, she said.
Some of the best suggestions
for improving the program have
come from students, she said.
Mentors — Spring 1982
Since spring 1980, when the
program was started at the Uni
versity, mentors have offered to
help students deal with every
thing from roommate conflicts
Mentors have a handbook of
available student services and
can point the student in the right
direction; however, the majority
of the students who come to
mentors are just looking for
someone to talk to. Black said.
Since mentors can’t help stu
dents until they are contacted,

One student suggested using a
logo on the office doors of men
tors so that students could readi
ly identify them.
All mentors are urged to
make announcements in their
classes about the program, Black
said.
Faculty response has been
very positive and encouraging,
Black said. Many professors are
concerned about students and
willing to help them in any way
they can. They view the mentor
program as their opportunity to
get involved, she said.
One professor. Black said,
comes to campus every day at 5
a.m. and stays until 5 p.m. so he
can be available for students.
Another professor noticed a
large number of students on
campus during the weekends, so
he decided to start coming to his
office every weekend.
The Junior Honor Society has
helped tremendously in
reaching students. Black said.
Members handle much of the
on-campus distribution of post
ers and other information and
also has helped gather student
input by surveying 200 students.
Off Campus Aggies also helps
the program by posting signs
and posters at apartment com
plexes and shuttle bus stops, she
said.
