In addition to their assigned Peer Adviser, students meet their assigned Mentor from the Freshman Studies program at Pirate Adventure orientation. The Mentor is a professional adviser who serves as a professor in the University Life course, as a resource for many questions about the curriculum, and as a counselor to help freshmen plan their course of study. The Mentor helps students clarify personal, academic and career goals. Together, the Mentor and the student examine these goals and use them to shape an academic plan and semester coursework. Our program's goal is to assist students in fulfilling their potential while making realistic choices when choosing their major. The students' choices should always reflect both their interests and abilities.   As a student's academic and perhaps personal issues arise, Mentors are available to counsel the students. Students are made aware of and encouraged to take advantage of the many Seton Hall University resources available on campus, such as the Academic Resource Center, the Career Center, Health and Counseling Services, and the Campus Ministry, to make the first year of college a great success.
