WHY MENTOR.M.E.?
Navigation
UTEP's English and American Literature programs (BA & MA) offer the highest quality instruction, from gifted professors, in a variety of challenging courses. So why do you need a mentor? Why should you be a mentor? The most frequent request from undergraduate students: greater challeng/stimulation in the subject; greater involvement in the program/department; and, greater interation with their peers. Though we have one of the most supportive programs on campus, instructors and staff cannot alone meet these needs. So, it is up to YOU, and US, to make sure that we start by getting to know one another and keep the conversation going.
Anyone can be a mentor, and their is much to gain from either role in a mentorship. Mentor meetings are not an extra requirement, and should not get in the way of course work. Instead, these meetings should give you an opportunity to get to know your peers, and should be a time where you find some respite from the semester. Its not a counceling session or a tutoring service, but you may be pleasantly surprised about the comfort and clarity that come simply from speaking with like-minded people who have already been through the program.
