Foundation

Research has proven that students who are connected to and feel comfortable at an institution of higher learning are more likely to graduate from that institution. Contrarily, students who must rely on their own support networks are more likely to transfer or drop-out. The NPCC Mentoring Program is built on the philosophy that the personal connection between a mentor and mentee will support student self-advocacy leading a determined student to graduate from National Park Community College. The positive connections that students make at the college foster the creation of a safe and comfortable learning environment where academic exploration and experimentation are encouraged.

Goals

1. The NPCC Mentoring Program will establish a network of faculty and staff who volunteer to support and guide students through the college experience.
2. The NPCC Mentoring Program will foster mentoring relationships that support students’ journey towards self-reliance, successful graduation, and transfer to a four-year institution or job placement.
3. The NPCC Mentoring Program will challenge students to work through personal and academic challenges--and build self-esteem and confidence through the pursuit of higher education.

Outcomes

The NPCC Mentoring Programs intends to help NPCC Community College students feel supported by college personnel, comfortable and safe in a welcoming learning environment, and challenged and rewarded by successfully navigating the college process. The Program will support the acquisition of knowledge and the journey to becoming life-long learners.
