Upon admission to Austin College students are assigned a faculty mentor, who serves as the student’s academic advisor and as the instructor for the first year seminar course. The term mentor denotes a special student-faculty relationship where the established rapport should assist the student in adjusting academically to college life and in effectively using the resources of the institution. As part of the advising process, students meet regularly with their mentors to review career interests and aspirations and steps for achieving these goals.
