Academic Fellows and Mentors Societies

Each residential college has an Academic Fellows or Mentors Society, an honorary service organization dedicated to academic life in the college. Fellows and Mentors are upperclassmen who were selected based on proven academic achievement and demonstrated willingness to help fellow students. As part of their charge, Fellows and Mentors provide free academic assistance on a regular basis through advertised review sessions, “office hours” in the college commons, and individual tutoring by request. Significant advantages of consulting a Fellow or Mentor are the convenience and proximity of the source as well as the familiarity of the Fellow or Mentor with the specific course.

Check here for a full list of current mellows and office hours for the Fellows/Mentors at your college!
