Capstone Project

     For the Capstone project this semester, Hunter Anderson and I have determined that study habits and the issues that students face on a daily basis. The way that the university could assist the students and can help create a twenty-first century learning environment is by enforcing a mentor ship program. As students face problems everyday they could use their mentors to receive advice and guidance. They could work together for the good and betterment of not only themselves, but for the university as well.

     The mentor ship program would help students learn not only through their educational endeavors, but also throughout their social issues. Students get carried away at times and to steer them in the right direction a student can seek guidance from their mentors on ways to balance education and their personal life. The experiences that the mentors have had through the years can be used to help influence the students to become the best that they can be.

     Having a high grade point average is essential to the healthiness of a campus. A student can go to their mentors to find assistance in their classes. This would result in a higher grade point average around campus and would help the students as individuals. The student could learn from their mentors how to overcome their educational burdens and  students within college can seek guidance through their life as a student.

    The Students can use the mentors to gain guidance following college as well. As a student becomes an upperclassman they then will receive guidance from an alumni adviser; meanwhile, they will also be passing on their knowledge that they gained throughout the years to an underclassman that they are paired with. They then can help the program live on to each generation of college students here at Jacksonville State University.
