Success Scholars Program Testimonials
Faculty Feedback
"I think it's a great opportunity to get to know each other on another level and plan for success. If you want to have a greater impact on a student's life, you should consider it."
Instructor of Criminal Justice
"I think the benefit for me is that I get to meet students who are outside of my program. It is interesting to get to work with students from other disciplines. The benefit for the mentees is the same; they may get a different perspective from a different professor than they get from their preceptor or other program professor.
Becoming a mentor is a way to reach out to students and have them feel comfortable with faculty. It allows more personal contact with students we may never have met otherwise."
Associate Professor of Psychology

"I think Student Success Scholars Program is a really great program to have in place here at Stockton. I think it is important to provide struggling students with support from peers, faculty, and staff. These concepts are not taken into consideration at every institution.
Someone should become a mentor because it is a rewarding experience in which you find out a lot about yourself and how to work with others."
