Abstract

Student and alumni success is not linked to where students attended college but how students attended college. If students develop emotionally supportive relationships, they will be more successful in college and in their careers. Researchers suggest that such empowering relationships can be formed organically, but faculty spend only 2 to 6 percent of their on-campus hours working with students one-on-one. East Tennessee State University Digital Media Department implemented a Faculty-Student Mentoring Initiative which is beneficial to student success during college and after graduation. This paper explains the need for mentoring programs and the mentoring program in the ETSU Digital Media Department. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
