Information for Faculty and Advisors

Mentoring Program
The Mentoring Program provides first-year TRiO/SSS students an opportunity to work with project staff in order to help ensure a smooth first year at UVM.

• As students join the program, the mentor will send a student's faculty advisor an information letter from TRiO that describes the services available tostudents in the program.
• We hope faculty/advisors will encourage students to use TRiO services as needed and will contact mentors so they can work together to support students academically and personally.
• First-year students can qualify for priority registration through TRiO. Students need to meet with their faculty/advisor and mentor to complete the process.

College Liaison Program
Each member of the Academic Support Programs/TRiO/SSS professional staff serves as a liaison to one or two of UVM's schools and colleges.
