College of Liberal Arts
Liberal Arts Mentoring Program (LAMP)
The Liberal Arts Mentoring Program (LAMP) is an initiative in the College of Liberal Arts with the goal of connecting freshmen and first-time transfers to peer mentors within our college who are prepared to help navigate the first year. Mentors provide support and guidance to first year students as they adjust to college life and start to develop marketable skills in the liberal arts. They share their familiarity with campus life, resources, and personal experiences in CLA. By creating connections between new and more experienced students, the program personalizes the MTSU CLA experience and creates opportunities for rewarding interpersonal relationships.
Interested in being paired with a Mentor?
The hardest part about starting a new chapter in life is knowing where to begin; however, a new beginning doesn’t have to be hard, and you don’t have to go through it alone. Mentees have someone that looks out for them, and they can learn how to endure and thrive their first academic year at MTSU from their mentor’s personal experience and institutional knowledge. Mentees develop and strengthen skills in goal setting, judgement and decision making, cognitive flexibility, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Most importantly, mentees establish their support network and understand campus resources early on in their academic career to persevere and succeed. Being mentored is a personal experience that you will carry with you for a lifetime and more.
