Program Philosophy

The Bepko Learning Center's programs are based on the philosophy that highly successful academic students can play an integral role in the academic development of their peers. Collaborative learning, role modeling, peer interaction and peer support are all components of the mentoring process.

Academic Mentoring involves a facilitative learning style in which students are encouraged to work collaboratively to answer each others' questions and learn to empower themselves in their academic endeavors. Since the inception of this program, students who have actively participated in mentoring have consistently experienced an increase in their overall academic performance. Those students who attend Academic Mentoring regularly experience an average increase of up to 1 full letter grade difference over students who do not attend.  In addition to the impact on the students GPA, mentoring provides an overall enhancement of the students' academic experience by helping students create networks that will last throughout their college career.

Mentoring is different from tutoring in that students are not provided with the answers to their questions, but are guided in the right direction by their mentor and through collaborative interaction with other students.  This process allows the students to learn valuable skills that will be beneficial to them throughout their academic careers.
