Stressed out? Not sure who to turn to? Talk to a Faculty Mentor.

Now that we have reached mid-semester, it's a good time for some self-assessment. Take time to ask yourself how you are doing and how your classes are going. If you're feeling stressed out and sometimes do not know where to turn, consider contacting a faculty mentor. A Faculty Mentor can help guide you and offer advice on where to find the help and resources you need.

Faculty mentors do not provide tutoring in course content; rather, they can assist you in addressing the following issues, among others:

  • Addressing difficulties with your courses;
  • Balancing your personal/work life with your academic life;
  • Managing learning during a pandemic or in a remote learning environment;
  • Finding additional help and college resources; and
  • Developing a positive mindset about education

Appointments can be made for one-on-one Zoom sessions. To sign up, go to ncc.edu/mentoringprogram
