Learning Support Services is recruiting two or three graduate students to work as academic mentors on the Newberg campus during the spring 2022 semester.

Academic mentors generally have six to eight one-on-one meetings with students each week; the position pays current Oregon minimum wage. Students can find more details and application information on the HandShake position posting. The position is open to any George Fox graduate student. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.

Past academic mentors have commented on how much they grew through the experience, especially through their one-on-one sessions with high-risk students. The role is not a formal counseling role, but has similarities that can be especially helpful for graduate students who will be entering helping professions.

Please contact Rick Muthiah (rmuthiah@georgefox.edu) if you have questions.
