The Role of Mentorship on Student Success, Belonging

In this podcast episode of Voices of Student Success, hosted by Inside Higher Ed, hear from Elon University’s Peter Felten, executive director of the Center for Engaged Learning, and Emily Krechel, director of new student programs. They discuss the importance of relationships in student success and belonging and how they’ve built a relationship-focused culture at Elon.

“Research shows students who have at least one connection to campus are more likely to persist, retain and complete a college degree, particularly students from historically marginalized or less privileged backgrounds. Students who feel connected to their institution are also more likely to have better mental well-being, as well.”
