Center of Mentorship Programs and Student Success (COMPASS) COMPASS connects students with faculty mentors to receive guidance about the world in and beyond their educational journey. “Our mentors are not tutors or counselors, but they draw on their own experiences to offer guidance that goes beyond the educational journey,” said J.R. Hanamean, assistant professor of the practice in Applied Sciences and director of the COMPASS program. “They are an amazing group with a vast array of experiences to offer our students,” he added. According to one student, “COMPASS helped me personally, professionally and academically. I can stay on track and accomplish my goals with help from my mentor. I would recommend the mentoring program to anyone.” In the last few years, COMPASS has connected with and impacted over 250 students, conveying the importance of general education skills, refining stated goals to actionable ones and providing emotional and intellectual support to students pursuing their graduation goals.
