Mentoring Program

The Mentoring Program pairs students with volunteer mentors from the first year of college through graduation.  Mentors are faculty, staff, and alumni who are knowledgeable and experienced.  They provide guidance and a personal connection on campus; support and encouragement; and assistance in long-term student success.  Any student enrolled at IU Southeast can participate in the Mentoring Program.

Access To Success

The Access To Success program is a one year program that is designed to successfully assist first year students in their transition to campus life at IU Southeast.  Peer mentors provide one-on-one mentoring services for first generation, minority students, 21st Century Scholars, and adult learners.  The Collegiate Summer Institute (CSI) is another component of the Access To Success Program.  CSI, which is held in July, is geared towards early college preparation for first year students who qualify.  Students who successfully complete the Collegiate Summer Institute receive First Year Credit.

Student Outreach/College Preparatory Program

The College Preparatory Program is designed to encourage students to aspire for a college education and inform and involve students at the high school level. Through sessions scheduled during the academic school year, ninth through twelfth grade students are exposed to information and activities that will assist them in preparation for college.

Programming and services are directed to preparing and increasing post-secondary participation and retention. Through sessions scheduled during the academic school year, ninth through twelfth grade students are exposed to such areas as SAT and ACT preparation, preparing students for the college experience, campus tours, guest speakers, financial aid workshops, study skills, organization and time management skills. The College Preparatory Programs goal is to facilitate academic achievement, begin career exploration, and assist in the student’s personal development.

Multicultural Initiatives

The Center for Mentoring sponsors events to embrace cultural diversity at Indiana University Southeast. Programs provide opportunities for social integration to the campus community, and opportunities to increase knowledge and awareness of the diverse populations at our institution.
