All incoming first-year
students will have multiple sources of good advice
about Colorado College. In addition to your faculty advisor and your First
Course instructor (advisor and instructor may be the sameperson, by the
way), you'll have access to the insights of an experienced Colorado
College student in our FYE Mentor Program.
First-Year Experience mentors are selected by the faculty teaching in the
first-year program
and are associated with the particular courses in the FYE schedule. It is
an honor to be
selected as a FYE mentor, and our students take the honor very seriously.
FYE mentors
will not replace the important formal advising system, but may supplement
it with practical,
first-hand, 'on-the-ground' advice about courses, campus organizations and
informal groups,
and the local Colorado Springs area. Please take the initiative in speaking
with your FYE
mentor, getting to know him or her, and taking advantage of the perspective
she or he brings
to the experience of student life at Colorado College!
Your FYE Mentor may:
- work with you as appropriate in review for your course assignments,
discuss the readings
and participate in course-related group projects and accompany you on
course-related
excursions and events.
- offer a number of informal ‘first-year’ introduction-to-college
sessions;
- introduce you to the block plan and offer advice about prioritizing
academic
commitments, college community responsibilities, and social life;
- introduce you to campus activities and student committees;
- arrange occasional social events and informal discussion sessions
for you and your
fellow First Course classmates throughout the year; introduce you to
the Colorado
Springs community and region;
- provide informal advice about courses and the general design of the
first-year academic
schedule in block two prior to preregistration for blocks 3-8;
- offer pragmatic information (from a student's perspective!) about
the point system and
course selection before all-college preregistration in block 7.
The following is a list of the 2008-09 FYE courses with corresponding
faculty and
mentor email links.
Feel free to contact them with questions you may have.
