Information literacy librarian Tamsin Bolton and drama professor Tina Pugliese will discuss their research into the impact of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Mentor Program in a free public presentation Friday in the Leddy Library.

“We have surveyed first-year students, mentors, and instructors who have had mentors in their classrooms to get a full sense of what has been happening,” Bolton says. “We are currently in the process of going through the data.”

Their research study has won support from the University’s Strategic Priority Fund as well as the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario.

Part of the Librarian Research Series, “Students Helping Students” will also feature participation by some of the student mentors. It is set for May 11, at 11 a.m. in room 302, West Leddy Library.
