Adult
Mentoring Program for Students (AMPS)
The Adult Mentoring Program for
Students (AMPS) teams experienced adult student volunteers with new
adult students. This program, coordinated by the Office of Adult
Students and Evening Services, is available to UNC Charlotte’s
nontraditional student population.
The purpose of
AMPS is:
- to make
available a support system for new and returning nontraditional
students.
- to
network with other nontraditional students.
- to share
and learn about social and educational opportunities within UNC
Charlotte and the community.
A peer mentor
is a trusted guide, friend, and peer who assists the new student
with areas of adjustment and transition into university life as a
nontraditional student. Through active listening and sharing of
personal experiences, the mentor guides and advises the mentee, so
there is a greater chance for student achievement.
